How to Care for the Plant

Water
When caring for Geum reptans, water occasionally during hot, dry weather. Creeping avens plants are relatively drought tolerant and don’t require a lot of moisture.
Pruning
Deadhead wilted blooms regularly to promote continued blooming. Cut creeping avens plants back after blooming to refresh and rejuvenate the plant. Divide creeping avens every two or three years.
Fertilizer
Under normal conditions, they shouldn't require fertilization, but gardeners looking to give their plants a boost can use any general-purpose garden fertilizer in early spring.
