. . . are good things!
It's hard to remember every plant we have or would
like to have. That's why we keep lists. Our plant lists content information
about our tries at growing, general information on the plant and
photographs. |

There are
over 200
species of plants cultivated in our gardens. To learn more
about any of these either find the plant in the list above,
search for a plant in the box to the left or clock on one of the
categories or locations in the left column.
Each plant
listed will show a picture, and our notes about that plant. When possible, we include the Latin
botanical name, a short descriptions, and planting
notes. |

The leaves are up to 6" long and 2½" across.

There are scattered short hairs across the upper surface of each leaf, although they are hard to see.

Shredded Umbrella Plant
Syneilesis aconitifolia
shade plant
In early spring, the white wooly leaves push through the ground like may apples...or more appropriately, like shredded umbrellas after a hurricane. The exquisite foliage flattens out atop 15" stems by mid-spring. Expect a decent-sized colony as the rhizomes slowly spread (2' wide in 5-7 years).
