Geum rivale - water avens
Geum rivale: soft, nodding bells in dusky pink and apricot tones bring a wild, romantic charm to damp borders and shady edges. A native wildflower with serious cottage garden appeal – understated, graceful, and pollinator-friendly.
Plant Care
Position: part shade to full sun, in moist or boggy soil – perfect for pond edges, woodland gardens, or naturalistic planting
Hardiness: fully hardy in the UK (down to -20°C)
Hot Tips: thrives in moisture-retentive soil – don’t let it dry out. Deadhead to extend flowering or let it self-seed for a natural look. Cut back after flowering to neaten and refresh the foliage.
