Geum Banana Daiquiri

Common Name:
Avens 'Banana Daiquiri'

Description:
Geum 'Banana Daiquiri' is a compact, herbaceous perennial that forms a low clump of glossy, light green leaves. In late spring to early summer, it produces medium-sized, semi-double, clear lemon-yellow flowers on taller, branching, fuzzy green stems. These ruffled blooms add a bright splash of color to garden beds and borders. Deadheading spent flowers encourages additional blooming. After the flowering period, pruning back the plant can rejuvenate the foliage. This cultivar thrives in Melbourne's climate when planted in full sun to part shade, preferring moist, well-drained soils. It's suitable for use in perennial borders, rock gardens, and containers. Regular division every 3 to 4 years in spring or fall helps maintain plant vigor.
