10 Seeds Prairie Smoke Geum triflorum Perennial

Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum) is a hardy North American native perennial known for its nodding reddish-pink blooms followed by distinctive feathery, smoke-like seed heads that create a soft, hazy effect in the garden. It forms tidy clumps of finely divided, fern-like foliage that add texture and interest across the growing season.

This adaptable perennial works beautifully in rock gardens, native plantings, pollinator gardens, and low-maintenance borders. Its unusual seed heads are excellent for dried arrangements, and the plant naturalizes steadily in favorable sites once established. It pairs well with other drought-tolerant natives and offers reliable, season-long visual appeal.
