Pretticoats™ Peach Avens

Pretticoats™ Peach avens makes a compact mound of green foliage topped by semi-double flowers that blend peach, pink, and yellow tones. Its spring bloom repeats through summer, giving the plant a longer season of color than a single-flush perennial. ## Season and form The cultivar denomination is ‘TNGEUPP’; Pretticoats™ Peach is its trade name. The [plant patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP31208P2/en) describes a mounding plant about 10 inches tall and 12 inches wide, with heavy spring bloom and repeat flowering in summer. Commercial growing references report a wider mature spread of about 18–20 inches, so leave room for the foliage to broaden. Flowers age toward deeper rose tones. ## Placement and care Use it at a sunny or partly shaded border front, in small groups, or in containers. Rich, evenly moist but well-drained soil supports flowering; give afternoon shade in hot climates and avoid soggy winter ground. The [Monrovia growing profile](https://www.monrovia.com/pretticoats-peach-avens.html) describes repeated spring-to-fall bloom and recommends removing spent flowers and dividing clumps every few years. [Prides Corner Farms](https://pridescorner.com/plant-name/GEUM-PRETTICOATS--PEACH) lists the exact selection as hardy in USDA Zones 5–9. ## Maintenance Remove spent blooms to encourage another flush. Cut back old foliage after a hard freeze and divide crowded clumps in early spring every two or three years.
