MITELLA diphylla
|
Description: This native from the Saxifrage family makes its habitat in beech and boreal forests on moss-covered rock outcroppings in just a few inches of rich soil. The common name comes from the delicate, white-fringed flowers that resemble a miter, the cap a Bishop wears. Blooms appear in spring and grow 12-18 inches on slender smooth stems. The foliage remains green throughout the summer. The leaves resemble maple and stay low to the ground. Partial to full shade in moist soil rich in humus. In masses, it makes a good, low growing groundcover
