Geum 'Bell Bank'

Image
 Geum 'Bell Bank' is an early flowering variety which is quite close in habit to it's wild predecessor Geum rivale , aka Water avens.  The flowers are a delightful pink colour rising above a mound of bright green foliage which remains in a dome after the flowers fade, two months or more after they first open in early April. I've had the plant for a few years and would like to split it.  I chickened out this spring, but autumn is another opportunity to do it.
