A very pretty, long-flowering avens for the front of a border, Geum Mai Tai is a rhizomatous, clump-forming, herbaceous perennial with a ground-covering, basal clump of rounded, lobed, deep green leaves. From May to July, semi-double, pink-flushed, pale apricot flowers, fading to melon-pink, are borne on branching, red-green stems; the flowers are very good for bees and for cutting. The burr-like seed heads are also very attractive. Avens Mai Tai does well in a cooler part of the garden, and gives colour in dappled shade. Cut back faded leaves in late autumn, and divide every couple of years.
