Avens is a pretty perennial whose wild forms can be found on every continent except Australia. There are several species being crossbred for more attractive flower colours, extended blooming time, or better hardiness. All varieties we sell are reliable and hardy in C.E. climate without any help or protection.Description of the plant:
The CENSATION™ series of avens is bred by Armand Kremer from a German perennial nursery Green Globe. Yellow Fluffy is a cheerful variety with banana yellow flowers tinged salmon pink on the reverse. They are 3-4 cm wide, semi-double, and open atop 35-45 cm tall maroon stems. It begins to bloom in late April and continues for 4-5 weeks. Under good growing conditions it can re-bloom sporadically until late summer. The flowers are nodding until they are fully open and only then they raise their heads towards the sun.It grows vigorously and makes dense and compact tufts. Leaves are rounded, shallowly toothed, bright green, and deciduous. Remove all foliage in early spring.
Avens is not picky about soil type. It does best in fertile, medium moist but well-drained soil in full sun. A little extra feeding will bring lush foliage but is not necessary for flower production – avens will always flower if grown in full sun. Hardy to abt. -29 °C (USDA zone 5) and suitable for outdoor pots and planters.
