White Avens

Geum canadense (White Avens) is a versatile perennial that thrives in various soil types, from dry to moist, and adapts well to part shade or full shade conditions. Preferring medium water use, it flourishes in woodland edges, open woodlands, and thickets. This plant is known for its small, white flowers that bloom from March to August, and its semi-evergreen foliage makes it attractive year-round. White Avens works well as groundcover, and its seeds can attach to fur or clothing, making it a natural part of woodland ecosystems.
