Collection: Avens (Geum) Perennials

Avens, also known as geum, is a long-blooming perennial standout. It brings early season color when most other plants are just waking up. The attractive flowers start appearing as early as April and continue well into summer. That makes it one of the earliest and longest-performing perennials you can grow. Dense, green mounded foliage serves as a beautiful backdrop to the richly colored blooms. It also adds texture and interest even between flushes of flowers.

This perennial does best in full sun to part shade with moist, loamy soil. So it works well in a variety of garden spots. Because the blooms arrive early and last long, they give butterflies and hummingbirds a reliable nectar source. They deliver it right when pollinators need it most. Avens give you a charming, easy-care perennial that delivers season after season.
