Wet winter soil is the main danger, so avoid low spots and heavy clay that stays soggy. Deadhead spent flowers to keep new ones coming. Water during dry spells, especially in its first year. Avens flowers best when young. Lift and divide the clump every two or three years in spring or early fall to keep it vigorous. Remove tired leaves in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Avens in this group come from \u003cem\u003eGeum chiloense\u003c\/em\u003e, also called \u003cem\u003eG. quellyon\u003c\/em\u003e, a species native to central Chile. 'Blazing Sunset' is a seed-raised double form chosen for its extra-large, bright scarlet blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut a handful for the table and there's still plenty left blazing outside.
