Blossoms are 50% larger than others

Here’s one with a great twist on the old-fashioned treasured perennial Avens, Geum; Blazing Sunset Avens brings fluffy double, scarlet red flowers that measure up to 50% larger than other varieties. It blooms longer than others, entertaining us with blossoms from late spring into summer. You’ll also enjoy them as a cut flower for cheery bouquets.

The fuzzy, green leaves form an attractive mound that makes a good filler for the front or middle of the flower border. Avens grows fast and is rarely bothered by pests or diseases.

Growing instructions: Plant in part sun to part shade; it dislikes the hottest afternoon sun. To maintain vigor, divide plants in spring. Younger, newly divided plants tend to bloom longer and stronger than older ones. Keeping dead blossoms off of plants will encourage more flowering.
