Geum rivale 'Marmalade' | Marmalade Avens

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Geum rivale ‘Marmalade’ presents nodding, bell-shaped flowers in warm tones of apricot-orange infused with amber and rose, opening in mid- to late spring above gently textured green foliage. Subtle veining and softly reflexed sepals give each bloom a layered, glowing quality that lends warmth to woodland edges and informal borders.

Derived from selections of the Eurasian water avens and refined through garden cultivation, it reflects a long horticultural history shaped around nuanced color and graceful flower form. Seasonal flowering and relaxed growth bring natural charm to shaded beds, streamside-inspired plantings, and mixed perennial compositions.
