Streptopus (Liliaceae)

roseus (lanceolatus)

A legendary woodland perennial which has taken us well over ten years to build up a saleable stock (actually lost count). Originating from the mountainous and cold northern forests of North America. From slender mat-forming rhizomes, with simple only rarely branched leaning stems 15-40cm long, bearing slightly hair fringed ovate-elliptic leaves and 1-2 axillary pendent pink bells spring to mid-summer, followed by dark red berries. Easily grown in a well drained leafy soil, in full to partial shade. Syn. S. lanceolatus.
