Clintonia borealis – I have fond memories of Bluebead happening upon them in colonies whilst hiking in the Adirondacks. From glossy obovate basal leaves reminiscent of terrestrial Cypripedium orchids, usually 3 in count, rise flowering stems from which greenish-yellow flowers occur on umbels. Beautiful blue fruits follow. Plant in acid, humus-rich soil in dappled to open shade situations. Bluebead will arrive bare root and bagged during our autumn shipping window. Division.
