Vancouveria hexandra

Inside-out Flower

Plant Type:

SHADE PERENNIALS

Vancouveria hexandra – This is the attractive ground covering "Inside-out Flower" from the Pacific Northwest, very delicate in appearance. Small leaves in pairs or threes loosely resemble a tiny, ferny Meadow Rue. Late spring/early summer white flowers about .5” long complete with reflexed petals and sepals occur in panicles atop red to red-purple wiry stems. They are attractive though their small size implies delicate subtlety. Ground covering with slow to moderate spread Inside-out Flower will gradually form weed-proof mats planted in fertile and moisture retaining soils in open shade to sites with morning sun. Division.
