Geum 'Lady Stratheden' (Avens)

Geum 'Lady Stratheden' is a clump-forming, herbaceous perennial known for its cheerful, semi-double, golden-yellow flowers. These blooms sit atop slender, wiry stems and contrast beautifully with the plant's rosette of deeply lobed, bright green leaves. This variety is prized for its long-lasting blooms and is a fantastic addition to borders, cottage gardens, or rock gardens.

Geum 'Lady Stratheden' thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and appreciates consistent moisture, especially during hot or dry periods. It attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding ecological value to the garden. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage prolonged flowering, while cutting back the plant after blooming promotes fresh foliage growth. Its bright yellow flowers pair beautifully with blue or purple perennials like salvia, nepeta, or lavender for a complementary color scheme.
