Description

Water Avens Plug Plants Geum rivale

Common names include nodding avens. 

This charming perennial produces nodding, bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, and sometimes red, which bloom from spring to late summer on delicate purple stems. Preferring damp or wet places, water avens is typically found in damp meadows, stream edges, and woodland clearings.

Water avens is an excellent plant for wildlife gardens, wetland areas, and naturalistic landscapes, attracting a variety of pollinating insects. Its delicate flowers provide nectar, while its feathery seed heads offer interest throughout the autumn and winter months.

Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.

Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.

We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
