Geum 'Tngeupp' PRETTICOATS™ PEACH

Avens is a pretty perennial whose wild forms can be found on every continent except Australia. There are several species being crossbred for more attractive flower colours, extended blooming time, or better hardiness. All varieties we sell are reliable and hardy in C.E. climate without any help or protection.

PRETTICOATS™ PEACH is a playful clown among avens. It produces masses of multi-coloured flowers for an extended period. They are semi-double, ruffled at margins, pale yellow and salmon pink as they emerge and pale peach pink as they mature. The main blooming season may begin as early as in late April if the spring is warm enough and lasts for about 6 weeks. Then more flowers are produced sporadically until late summer.

It grows vigorously and boast profuse flowering. Still, the clump is dense and compact, and the plant does not exceed about 30 cm in full bloom. Basal leaves are rounded, shallowly toothed, attractively green, and deciduous. Remove all foliage in early spring.

PRETTICOATS™ series is bred by Harini Korlipara from Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon, USA, and this variety was granted a US patent No. PP31208 in 2019.

Avens is not picky about soil type. It does best in fertile, medium moist but well-drained soil in full sun. A little extra feeding will bring lush foliage but is not necessary for flower production – avens will always flower if grown in full sun. Hardy to abt. -29 °C (USDA zone 5).
