Showy and brightly colored flowers are saucer-shaped, sometimes semi-double, over loose mounds of handsome dark strawberry-like leaves. Many of the best cultivars are hybrids between species. These plants do best a well-drained rich soil.
Brilliant yellow basket-of-gold planted in front of bright avens makes a bold color combination. Both enjoy similar soil conditions.
IrisThe upright sword-shaped foliage of Siberian iris provides a good foil for the basal scalloped leaves of avens. Strong blue irises play off well against strong yellow or orange avens.
CalliopsisBrilliant yellow coreopsis echoes or complements the bright hues of avens over a long bloom time. Several fine cultivars are available.
