Vancouveria chrysantha - Yellow-Flowered Redwood Ivy

Description

A lovely, uncommon Vancouveria native to shaded forests, this species has apple-green foliage topped with dainty yellow flowers. Given light shade, good drainage, and occasional water, it will slowly form a carpet around a shady garden. Unlike true Ivy, it is not at all invasive. Usually goes dormant for a brief period in fall and winter. Seldom available.
