Achlys triphylla |
Zone: 6-9
Date de la Récolte: Monday 15 September 2008
Description:
A lovely near carefree herbaceous groundcover with three broad soft green leaves gracefully wave in the slightest breeze. Spikes of small white flowers which look like mini feather dusters are held above the foliage in mid-late May. Quite a sight when growing in large colonies. Spreads by seed and by rhizomes. Prefers open shady sites with humus rich soil. Drought tolerant when established. Being a native plant, it coevolved with our wacky climate of rain drenched winters and dry summers.
