Commonly known as largeleaf avens, this lovely native plant was added to my native garden as a bonus plant in a pot with a different native shrub. This is another plant family I\u2019m very fond of, from the native prairie smoke that grows near our cabin, to the border plants, like Geum borisii and \u201cMrs. Bradshaw.\u201d More subtle than all of those, but with its own brightness and charm, comes this seemingly easy plant. It has bright yellow flowers, fresh green leaves with really large leaves for a Geum at the base of the plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
