Geum, Prairie Smoke

Geum triflorum
Prairie Smoke

The perennial, native to North American prairies provides interest for both spring and summer. In spring, bright pink flowers rise above the low-growing fernlike foliage. The flowers are pretty, but the real show comes in summer. The feathery seed heads that form look like little feather dusters or puffs of smoke.
