This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
- Position: partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil, neutral to slightly acidic soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: June
- Hardiness: fully hardy
A charming perennial that bears masses of delicate, star-shaped white flowers in midsummer. In autumn, the pretty, three-leafed foliage turns fiery red and the winter seedheads are a bonus too. Lovely towards the front of a shady, woodland border, where the flowers can be appreciated. - Garden care: Divide congested plants in spring or autumn. Protect young shoots from slug attack.

Notes on Gillenia trifoliata
"Understated and elegant, spidery white flowers held in russet-red cups on long wiry stems - they bend towards light underpinned by three-leaflets - the shady equivalent of breathy gypsophila"

I'm NOT an expert gardener and maybe a third of what I do fails over the years! But I chose this to grow under a tall rose (Gertrude Jekyll) that has a bare patch underneath it and this has been such a success. Growing strongly again its second year and so delicately pretty. It fills the space brilliantly, the pink buds tone with the rose and then they turn into lovely white stars floating in the attractive foliage. I'm thrilled.
