A graceful plant for semi-shade or full sun in cool retentive soil. Slender russet-coloured stems, set with small trifoliate leaves carry sprays of narrow-petalled, white flowers which float like moths at dusk in June. When the flowers have gone, reddish-brown calyces remain, quietly attractive for weeks.
Gillenia trifoliata
