Chilean Avens Geum quellyon - Family - rosaceae Mrs. Bradshaw’s bright red flowers appear in mid June held high above the dark green foliage. The flower cluster can be up to twenty four inches high, the clusters of doubled flowers quite showy in the perennial flower garden. Native to Chile, in South America, this geum can be somewhat finicky in the Midwestern climate, and downright impossible in the south. It has survived quite nicely in my garden producing brilliant clusters of flowers. The plant is somewhat short lived, so semi-annual divisions are necessary to keep the plant in attendance. Geum can also be propagated from seed, but if you are growing more than one type the plants will hybridize between species and you may end up with something quite different than planned. Geum is hardy in USDA Zones 5 - 6. |
