Geum Rival Nodding ‘Water Avens’ in 1 Gallon Pot

Description

Water Avens (Geum rivale) is a delightful perennial known for its unique, nodding flowers that blend shades of pink, purple, and a hint of orange at the base. These bell-shaped blooms dangle from arching stems in late spring to early summer, set against a backdrop of rounded, hairy leaves forming a low rosette. This plant, reaching up to 18 inches in height, prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, making it perfect for stream banks, damp meadows, or as a charming addition to moist garden borders.

Geum rivale is easy to care for, thriving in cooler climates and capable of spreading to form natural clumps. It’s particularly appreciated for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity. With its modest height and preference for moisture, Water Avens offers a subtle yet beautiful touch to naturalized areas and informal gardens.
