*Large-leaved Avens – Geum macrophyllum

(JEE-um mak-roh-FIL-um )

Family: Rosaceae (Rose Family)
Much of Northern America from AK to Baja and east to Great Lakes. Locally in San
Bernardino Mtns.; in moist forests, meadows, stream banks, springs and seeps from 3500 to about
10,000 ft. Locally in Yellow Pine forest, but in other types of coniferous forests in other parts of CA.

Native to:

clumping perennial
mature height: 1-3 ft.

Herbaceous perennial that dies back in winter in cold climates. Basal leaves are upright, compound with a kidney-shaped terminal leaflet much larger than the other leaflets. Growth habit somewhat like a strawberry – short stem and short underground stems (rhizomes). Not a fast spreader. Growth characteristics: Blooms mid- to late spring – April to June. Flowers resemble bright yellow strawberry flowers or buttercups. They have nectar ‘spots’ (invisible to human eye) to guide insect pollinators. Pretty in bloom with a woodsy charm. Fruits: round capsules - appear bristly. Blooms/fruits: Uses in the garden: Usually used as a groundcover, particularly in areas with more precipitation. Can become almost lawn-like. Plant with water-loving grasses/sedges for a mixed lawn. Charming in containers. Good in any area of the garden that receives regular water ore overspray. Works well as a groundcover around shrubs that need summer water. Important medicinal plant where ever it grows: leaf poultice for cuts/boils/muscle aches; leaf tea for stomach ache; much more.
