We love coming across this plant in our woods. It has a real sense of whimsy since it really does look like mini pantaloons hanging from a line. It is native to North American rich woods and is one of the first plants to bloom in early spring. It is in the poppy family and can cause temporary sickness in animals who eat it (also called staggerweed). Therefore, it probably won't be eaten twice by any deer wandering through.

We are offering 2 root corms per order (1 large and one medium).

Gillenia sports large numbers of one-inch star-shaped white flowers on wiry red branches. Flowers freely in June here in the northeast. This under used plant not only adds shape and texture, but is also very useful for dry, shady sites, especially when planted en masse. It may survive in full sun, but will not get as big and is less tolerable of dry conditions in my experience. We have plants that form a 3 foot diameter plant in the shade. When in bloom, it is stunning. When it is not, it provides texture and height to the garden. Native to eastern U.S. (Syn. Porteranthus)

Well, this is embarrassing, but a few years ago, it seems there was a mix up of the peony seeds. They were labeled one thing, but in some cases looked like something else when they came up. Not only that but there were different looking plants in each flat. So they were mixed up in multiple ways. These plants are for the gardener who doesn’t care which woodland peony they get as long as it’s beautiful, which they all are of course. The likely plants in this grab bag are, P. japonica, P. obovata var. willmottiae, and P. obovata var. obovata, but you never know, there may be another gem in there!
