Thanks to my friend Melody for sharing this PNW Native gem from her garden! Low growing perennial herb 4-8” tall, ferny leaves...white spidery flowers in spring followed by interesting seed structures arranged in whorls around the stem. Moist, lightly shaded woodland is perfect! Rare in the trade!
PNW native evergreen 6" groundcover that can try one's patience getting established but is very rewarding with its shiny dark leaves and golden flowers. Moist woodland soil. Minimum temperature: -20°F
SPRING BEAUTY. Evergreen groundcover that thrives in shady, damp places in peaty soil. From rhizomes. Has small yellow flowers. Native to the Pacific Northwest.
