Gillenia trifoliata 'Pink Profusion'

Bowman's root, Gillenia trifoliata, is a lovely perennial for partial shade. It bears masses of delicate, star-shaped white flowers in midsummer, in contrast with dark leaves and reddish stems. In autumn the flowers develop into attractive seedheads, which are complemented by fiery orange-red leaves.

Gillenia trifoliata ‘Pink Profusion’ has starry pale pink flowers. For best results grow in moist but well-drained, slightly acidic soil in partial shade. Propagate by seed in spring or divide congested plants in spring or autumn.
