Wet Kiss Avens
Geum ‘Wet Kiss’ is a clump-forming, herbaceous perennial with ruffled, semi double to single, vermilion flowers, 1 in. across (3 cm), paling to peachy orange as they mature, creating a lovely bicolor effect. Each plant may produce up to 100 flowers. Blooming profusely for 3-4 weeks from mid to late spring, they rise on sparsely leafed burgundy stems, well above the fresh and lush foliage of incised green leaves. Vigorous and disease resistant, Wet Kiss belongs to the Cocktail Series.
