Sieversia radiata
Also called Spreaded Avens, Appalachian Avens, Spreading Avens
Geum radiatum is a rare perennial herb in the rose family, native to a small area on the Tennessee and North Carolina border, and it is federally listed as endangered. It is seldom grown, but it needs cool, open rocky habitat with good drainage and full sun.
Geum radiatum is a rare species of flowering plant in the rose family known by the common names spreading avens, Appalachian avens, and cliff avens. It is native to the region of the border between Tennessee and North Carolina in the southeastern United States, where there are eleven known populations remaining. The plant was federally listed as an endangered species in 1990.
Geum radiatum is a perennial herb with a horizontal rhizome spreading beneath the soil. From the rhizome, several rosettes of leaves sprout. What may appear to be separate plants are actually all clones belonging to one genetic individual, as the plant reproduces vegetatively. The large leaves are decidedly kidney-shaped. The stems grow 20 centimeters to half a meter (8-20 inches) tall and produces bright yellow flowers in the summer months.
