Geum

Geum, also known as Avens, is a charming perennial that produces cheerful, cup-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, and peach. These blooms rise above attractive mounds of fuzzy, scalloped foliage on wiry stems, dancing in the breeze from late spring through early summer—sometimes reblooming later in the season. Geum adds a burst of color and cottage charm to borders, rock gardens, and pollinator plantings. It prefers cooler climates and appreciates regular moisture.
