Achlys triphylla is a Northwest native. The large leaves of this drought-tolerant herbaceous perennial have a strong presence on the floor of our visually busy conifer forests. Naturalized en masse in the garden, they are especially lovely in spring when their upright spikes of small white flowers create a verticle accent rising above their recurved leaves. The three-part leaf is composed of two large angel-wing leaflets surrounding a broad tail feather leaflet.
Spring 10-12 in. x 10 in.
