Bennet's-root
Geum urbanum
Wood avens is an undemanding perennial that tolerates shade and various soil conditions with minimal care. Water moderately and allow soil to dry slightly between waterings as it adapts well to both moist and drier conditions. This hardy plant produces small yellow flowers and has historically been valued for its aromatic roots used in traditional medicine.
