A genus of flowering plants in the rose family, often grown in gardens for their pretty red, yellow, or pink flowers and feathery seedheads.
From Latin 'geum,' the plant was named by the Roman naturalist Pliny. The botanical name has remained unchanged for over 2,000 years in scientific use.
Geum avens look delicate, but they're incredibly tough plants that survive in rocky mountain meadows—those feathery seed heads with hooks are nature's perfect hitchhiker design to spread on animal fur!
