Mitella yoshinagae

An easy and reliable evergreen perennial. Glossy and fuzzy green leaves cover trailing rhizomes 4 inches tall spreading to 2 ft. wide, wider in time. Erect flower stems hold frilly pale pink flowers above the leaves like miniature foam flowers. Shade to dappled sun in moist well drained soil. A good companion plant for year round ground cover around other woodland plants. Evergreen in zone 8, re-sprouting from the base into USDA zone 5.
