Virginia Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum)

From $6.00

I am native to New York State and Tompkins County, NY.

I make a nice moist woodland ground cover id allowed to naturlaize. The leaves will die back late in the summer if the ground dries out.

My leaves form a water "water stain," which is where my common name comes from.

I support spring pollinators.
