I moved one without too much trouble, but that was in the spring. I wouldn't do it now unless you've got some cooler, rainy days in the forecast. Another geum that I moved during the summer died. I don't get the sense they like being moved that much, it wilted very badly and never recovered in the heat. I couldn't water it enough to save it.

Thanks Nancy. I'll just cut it back for the moment I think then. It will wait until fall/springtime.

Yikes, google hit it on the nose! I know this is old, but just wanted to pipe up that I too have a Geum 'Mrs Bradshaw" that I got from a nursery (quart sized pot), and I planted it last week and it got real hot real fast 80s-90s (mid june) and it's wilted almost completely in one day! I have drip irrigation on it daily, and it just didn't have the root system apparently to keep up. Anyways, just wanted to share the crazy similarity 6 years later. Geums apparently don't do well when moved in the heat!
