Tellima grandiflora “Fringe Cups” Tellima grandiflora “Fringe Cups”

A choice California native shade plant, “Fringe Cups” combines wonderfully with ferns. The creeping rootstock sends up leafstalks to 8” long set with maple-like, softly hairy leaves, forming clumps. Where winters are mild, it’s evergreen. Small, urn-shaped, Spring flowers with tiny, fringed tips open green & age to deep red. Though not real showy, they are attractively arranged along slender stems to 30” tall. Very useful on the northside of a house, under redwoods, oak trees and in woodland gardens.
Good composty soil is best.
