Geum 'Cherry Bomb'
Avens 'Cherry Bomb' is a truly amazing plant. Its foliage is a deep, luxurious purple-green that creates a lush backdrop for its brightly coloured, bell-like blossoms. In May and June, the blooms offer a vivid display of yellow, orange and red. This hardy perennial is easy to care for and can withstand both heat and cold. It's a great choice for borders, beds, and as a groundcover. It benefits from regular pruning and will rebloom in Fall for an extended season of colour. Avens 'Cherry Bomb' is simply stunning in any garden.
