Geum Japonicum Var. Fauriei

Japanese avens, scientifically known as Geum japonicum var. fauriei, is a striking perennial plant native to parts of East Asia. It is celebrated for its delicate, cup-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of white and pink, adding a touch of elegance to gardens and natural landscapes. This variety of avens thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often found in shaded or semi-shaded environments. Its foliage is characterized by finely divided leaves that create a soft, feathery texture, complementing its floral display. Despite its beauty, the Japanese avens is relatively obscure in cultivation, making it a sought-after addition for botanical enthusiasts and gardeners alike.
