| Description | A gently-spreading evergreen groundcover from the Dan Hinkley Collection with exceptionally shiny, green to gunmetal blue, heart-shaped leaves. The foliage creates a handsome backdrop for the pretty star-shaped spring flowers. This fuss-free filler thrives in dappled shade, perfect for a narrow bed, tree understory or woodland garden. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Mid to late spring |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Easy Care |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Slow |
| Landscape Use | Border, Ground Cover |
| Flower Color | White |
| Foliage Color | Dark Green |
| Companion Plants | Sweet Flag (Acorus); Coral Bells (Heuchera); Fern (Athyrium); Lungwort (Pulmonaria); Hosta (Hosta); Bleeding Heart (Dicentra); Snakeroot (Cimicifuga) |
| Care Instructions | Thrives in enriched, humusy, moist, well-drained soils with dappled or bright shade. Water regularly during first growing season to establish root system. Once established, prefers evenly moist soil, but tolerates dry shade in cooler regions. Clip spent flower stems in late summer. Prune old foliage in early spring to rejuvenate. |
| History | When Dan Hinkley collected the seeds for Beesia deltophylla in China in the 1960s he was immediately intriuged by the species, but frustrated by the virtual absence in any reference book. This particular selection was collected in 1998 in Sichuan Province. |
