Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum) 3-pack of pots
Can’t be shipped.
Prairie Smoke is a favorite dry prairie flower, blooming early in the spring with red flowers that angle down like a shepherds hook when being pollinated and then raise up to let out a puff of fluffy seed tails that look like smoke. Prairie Smoke is an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, and dry sandy soils. It blooms ridiculously early, often sending up flowers stalks when there’s still a chance of snow.
