Gillenia

Gillenia trifoliata full sun  partial shade

It’s easy to be charmed by this dainty yet tough, no-nonsense American wildflower. Bronzy pink spring shoots form a low refined clump of wiry, erect and branching mahogany-tinted stems sparsely cloaked in toothed trifoliate leaves. Fluttering a lacy dance, decorative red calyxes and white starlike flowers define the lovely loose terminal panicles. Ornate seed heads, crimson autumn foliage and persistent sepals keep our interest sparked, while varied conditions—open woodlands, moderately moist, well drained soil, sun or some shade—will help it flourish.

Blooms June – July.

Size: 2'–3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4.

Customer Comment:

“I found Digging Dog in a gardening magazine and am so thrilled I did. I went to their website after reading about them and was so impressed I immediately placed an order ( after checking with Garden Watchdog of course !) My plants were delayed 3 weeks due to the hot weather. Each Monday someone from Digging Dog called, explained the situation and explained the delay. What service!! My plants arrived today happy healthy and good size. I could not be happier and will shop Digging Dog much in the future.”
