Blazing Sunset Avens (Geum 'Blazing Sunset') is a high-impact perennial that brings a bold, tropical energy to the temperate garden. This variety features large, fully double, ruffled blooms in an intense, fiery scarlet red—the largest flowers of any red Geum. The blossoms are held high on wiry stems above a lush, mounding base of fuzzy, scalloped green leaves, creating a dramatic "floating" flower effect.

As a hardy member of the Geum genus, 'Blazing Sunset' is a reliable early-summer bloomer that often provides a second flush in autumn if deadheaded. It is highly attractive to butterflies and makes an exceptional, long-lasting cut flower for bright bouquets. Why you’ll love it: Giant double scarlet blooms, vigorous and tidy growth habit, and a rugged nature that handles both sun and light shade with ease.

This healthy 4" live flowering plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil.
