Vancouveria hexandra
A vigorous, rhizomatous, semi-evergreen perennial, reaching up to 20 inches x 3 + feet, that is native to forests from Washington State to northwest California.
The leaves, up to 16 inches in length, are divided into up to 27 leaflets, up to 1 x 0.6 inches in size. The foliage is bright green at first, later turning to mid-green.
The nodding white flowers are borne late spring.
Hardy zones 5 to 8 ( possibly 4 on protected sites with deep winter mulch) in partial to full shade on moist, humus-rich soil. It is surprisingly heat tolerant in the southeastern U.S. Prune out winter damaged foliage during early spring. Plants should be planted 2 to 3 feet apart in order to form an eventual groundcover.
