Geum 'Pretticoats Peach'

Pretticoats Peach Avens

Geum 'Pretticoats Peach' produces gently ruffled, semi-double flowers in warm shades of soft peach and pink touched with apricot tones, opening in late spring and continuing into early summer. Slender, branching stems lift the blooms above tidy green foliage, allowing the luminous petals and golden centers to remain visible as they sway lightly with garden movement.

Bred in modern ornamental cultivation from hybrid garden ancestry, it reflects ongoing selection for refined color, recurrent bloom, and graceful presentation in temperate landscapes. Extended flowering and neat growth lend welcoming color to borders, cottage plantings, and seasonal container displays.

Design tip
