200 White Avens Seeds Geum canadense Wildflower Pollinator Cottage Garden

White Avens (Geum canadense) is a hardy native perennial wildflower that brings a soft, natural charm to meadows, woodland edges, and cottage-style borders. Its delicate white blooms rise above bright green foliage through the summer months, creating a gentle, airy texture that pairs beautifully with other wildflowers and grasses.

This adaptable species works well in pollinator gardens, naturalized areas, rain gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes. The seeds establish readily when sown in cool, moist conditions, and the plants return year after year, gradually forming attractive colonies. Grow it alongside other native perennials for a layered, wildlife-friendly planting.
