I've read it takes multiple years for some natives to finally bloom (still waiting on my baptistas too) but what's the line on these geums? All the pictures I've seen are so pretty that I am annoyed as well as impatient that it's yet to occur in my garden.

Late freeze may have been the problem, killing the buds. I live in Southern Ontario and mine are just blooming now, will see seed heads in another few weeks. We expect freeze until mid May and most of our plants hold off blooming till then.

The rule of thumb with perennials is "first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap". So do not expect much in the way of flowers until third summer. And with a late freeze, may be next year.
