Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum)
Full to Partial Sun
Medium Wet to Dry soil
Grows to 8” high
Blooms April-June
Pollinator Favorite, Deer Resistant, & Medicinal
Geum triflorum captivates with its delicate wispy seedheads. Naturally flourishing in upland prairies and grasslands, it is becoming more of a rarity due to invasive species spread and urban development. This rose family member forms mounds of pinnately compound leaves, turning vivid hues in late fall. Nodding reddish-pink flowers bloom in late spring and later transform into distinctive silvery-pink plumes resembling drifting smoke. Prairie Smoke adds an understated elegance any home garden, coexisting harmoniously with native flora and spreading slowly via rhizomes in well-drained, dry to wet-mesic soils.
