'Spanish Fly' = avens hybrid with up-facing, orange-yellow flowers (1 and1/4" in diameter)
Good cultivar in Chicago Botanic Gardens trials, gaining 4 out of 5 stars.
Blooms from mid May to late June
Clumps of fuzzy semi-evergreen leaves, height10/22" (w/wo flowers) x 20" wide. More or less ground-covering mounds.
Full sun, half-shade, preferably loamy soils, loamy clay, organic rich soils, that stay medium to medium-moist (but NOT waterlogged).
Avens do like cooler climate, areas with cooler nights - so they will perform better in upper Midwest or coastal areas, in hotter climate find cooler spot in half shade (afternoon/early evening shade).
They will tolerate some summer droughts (each cultivar differs some), but leaves may scorch or turn brown and plant will re-sprout with more moisture.
Deer and rabbit resistant plant, butterfly and bee friendly.
Hardy in zones 4 - 7.
'Spanish Fly' was introduced by famous plantsman Brent Horvath (Intrinsic Perennial Gardens, Hebron, Illinois). This cultivar is patented under patent PP27226 - propagation is prohibited.
Geum x hybrids are excellent border perennials, with flowers reminding of little roses (they belong to Rose family - Rosaceae), they go well with many perennials, best planted in the front of the flower bed.
Good combination are with Amsonia, hardy Geraniums, Iris, Nepeta, Heuchera, Hemerocalis, Hosta (in half-shade), Paeonia, Salvia or any other border perennials and medium sized grasses like Sporobolus, Schizachyrium or shorter cultivars of Panicum.
Geums tolerate half-shade, so they can combined with half-shade, dappled sun/shade woodland edge/ woodland perennials - Aquilegia, Anemone x hupehensis, Chelone, Chrysogonum, Dicentra, Gillenia, Helleborus, Heuchera, Hosta, Lobelia, Primula, Polemonium, Polygonatum, Polygonum, Tradescantia, Tricyrtis, Spigellia, or sedges - Carex.
