Uvularia (Convallariaceae)

sessilifolia 'Cobblewood Gold'

A selection discovered by plantsman Darrell Probst in 1997 of a North American native in a patch of woods in western Massachusetts and named for his nursery. Slender shoots emerge in early spring, from narrow underground creeping rhizomes. The wiry stems to 15cm tall are draped with small green leaves, which are richly enhanced by golden yellow variegation. The yellow, bell-shaped flowers in early spring are of course a bonus. Best grown in a moist, leafy drained soil in deciduous shade.
