Geum rivale

Height x Spread: 30cm x 60cm 

Delicate coppery-pink flowers with dark rusty red sepals gently nod their heads in the breeze above short, fuzzy stems and deeply cut green foliage.

As its common name 'water avens' suggests, this small but charming native Geum loves a cool moist soil and is a perfect ingredient for a sunny water meadow, bog garden or bordering a stream, where its elegant silhouette can be silhouetted.  Bees love it.  Quite unfussy, it can cope with any moist soil, enriched with organic matter in a sunny to partially shaded site.
