Geum triflorum

Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum) is a perennial native wildflower known for its unique, feathery seed heads and low, mounded growth habit. It typically grows 6-18 inches tall and spreads slowly from its roots, forming attractive clumps. Prairie Smoke thrives in full to partial sun and prefers well-drained soils, tolerating conditions from dry to wet-mesic. Its water needs are moderate, and once established, it is quite drought-tolerant. This plant is well-suited for prairies, rock gardens, and naturalized landscapes, adding early spring color and texture with its nodding pink blooms and distinctive seed plumes.
