Geum, commonly known as Avens, is a genus of hardy perennial herbs in the rose family, prized for their cup-shaped flowers and strawberry-like foliage. These plants form low-growing basal rosettes of fuzzy, lobed leaves that remain semi-evergreen in mild climates. In late spring, wiry stems rise above the foliage, bearing blossoms in vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. They thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sun to partial shade, making them excellent for cottage gardens.
