I have quite a few Geums but, particualrly the 'avens' type which tolerate wet soil. They aren't as showy as these double/semi double ones but solve a problem in the really wet parts of my back garden. And, I've had to realise that it's best to use plants that will thrive rather than fighting against the conditions. When I first planted the back garden last year,I had no idea just how wet some parts of the garden were. So, lots of bog/marginal plants now.
