Description

Geum coccineum is a clump-forming perennial that grows to 1'-1.5' tall and spreads to 1' wide. This Geum forms forms a basal foliage mound (to 6" high) of irregularly-lobed, hairy, medium green leaves with very large terminal leaflets. In late spring, erect, wiry, branching flowering stems rise above the foliage mound to 9"-18" high carrying cymes of 5-petaled, brick red flowers (to 1.5" diameter) with center clumps of yellow stamens. This plant prefers moist, fertile soils in cool summer climates.
