They
bloom throughout May and June, re-bloom in the end of July. This
May they were one of the first plants to bloom in my garden and have produced a plethora of blooms.
I
want to plant several more in fall to create a large swath of bright
orange. I grow mine amongst Allium, Geranium and Leucanthemum and they compliment one another very well. Red Avens have beautiful foliage and I think they are ideal for rock gardens or near dark foliage plants.
Another one Red Aven in my garden is well known variety 'Borizin' (above). It's also perennial herb 35-40 cm tall, flowers are large, bright red, 3-3.5 cm in diameter. I also love this variety because it blooms from late May to 30-40 days.

All
Avens are very hardy, they survive in -30 C and always are healthy and alive
in spring.
Do you have this plant in your garden? Where do you grow it?
The color is so striking, especially amongs the lilac allium. I have never seen before. It's looked like single petal rose. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like its color as well Endah.
DeleteHi Nadezda, geums are new to me too, I got one last year and it is still in a pot, it is called Geum ‘Blazing Sunset’ – it should really have been planted in the ground because I think it has grown too big for the pot and needs more water than the pot can provide. They are lovely flowers and I like that you have so many, maybe I need to get some more to plant next to mine :-)
ReplyDeleteHelene, do not worry about Geum, when you plant it in a soil it will grow as mad. Then next year Geum will appear in different spots.
DeleteHello Nadezda girl !
ReplyDeleteI had a few varieties of geums in my garden .. the last one was Flames of Passion ? I'm not sure about that name .. but they are pretty little flowers and very tough and wow ! yours look amazing against the purple allium!
You are right about these stones costing a lot more .. BIG sigh ... we learn from our mistakes ... that was a big learning curve to use a certified landscaper !
Take care !
Joy : )
Joy, sorry, we all make mistakes and be sure your paths are perfect now!
DeleteI bought three yellow geums this year and am waiting for the flowers,
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Sue.
DeleteI adore this plant and need to plant more too...they are perfect growing with alliums and geraniums...a perfect combo.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna!
DeleteBoa tarde, belíssimas fotos das belas flores com lindas cores que encantam.

Gracias por visitar mi blog, A. Gomes!
DeleteFlorido jardín amiga. Esa Geum coccineum se parece a las amapolas pero con más pétalos. Bonito color tienes.
ReplyDeleteBuen lunes Nadezda ;)
Bsos.
Por fin llegó el verano !!!
ReplyDeleteQue viva el verano en Béjar!
DeleteI love this color - it must look stunning in a mass!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does Jason.
DeleteThis is so pretty Nadezda! I love Geum. I once planted the red 'Mrs Bradshaw' but it didn't come back after the first year. All I have are the common orange ones I love as well. They also bloom early in Spring. I think I might try and find one of the red varieties you're showing us here; maybe those would be stronger and survive the wet conditions during the winter in our garden? I love the combination with the purple Allium!
ReplyDeleteThese two varieties are very hardy Marian therefor last winter here was wet and rainy with a bit of snow. All my Geums survived well.
DeleteSo very pretty with the purple allium! I don't have this plant in my garden but it is quite cheerful and I admire it in the gardens of others.
ReplyDeleteI love these little orange / red geums -- I have a big patch of Cooky too. They are very reliable bloomers that go on forever, but this year was the first time they did not do well -- we had a very, very dry spring, no rain at all for over 33 days in April and May. They flowered, but were much smaller and only bloomed for a week or two. Usually, with enough rain, they are long-blooming happy plants!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Laurrie, all plants need rain, not drought.These little flowers are enough strong, as they survived in your garden so long dry season.
DeleteHello Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteyour red avens looks gorgeous. I know only some of its wild relatives, and when I googled it, I learned that Geum does belong to Rosaceae. Indeed it looks like a pretty rose like Endah said above.
As always, thank you for your interesting comment on my post. It's lovely that you had a song for ladybirds. We had a rhyme where we asked her to fly... :)
Yes, Sara they belong to family Rosaceae. But they are easily grown in our climate then roses:))
DeleteBeautiful plant Nadezda. I will look for it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alain!
DeleteThese look fantastic. One I will have to look out for.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ian for dropping by!
DeleteGeum coccineum is a very beautiful plant.
ReplyDeleteI had it once in your garden.
Unfortunately, he disappeared.
I was thrilled eyes your beautiful pictures.
Greetings.
I'm glad Lucja you liked my photos, I tried to better show this small plant.
DeleteOooo, thank you for showing me this wonderful flower. I had not idea of its existence until now. I think it goes beautifully with the purple allium.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, thank you Rosemary.
DeleteYour orange Avens are lovely. I'm going to investigate if they'll grow at high altitude.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful orange-red these flowers are.
