Avens or
Grecian Rose
Geum

Description:
Enjoy Geum as a cut flower in fresh bouquets. The fuzzy, green leaves
form an attractive mound that makes a good filler for the front or middle of
the flower border. The main blooming period is late spring thru early
summer, but it will continue to bloom sporadically throughout the summer if
deadheaded. Their color impact is visible from quite a distance. Geum
is a fast grower that is rarely bothered by pests or diseases.
