The Prize!

Enemion biternatum

Enemion biternatum, sometimes referred to as Isopyrum biternatum, is a fantastic native groundcover for the woodland garden. It reaches just 6-12 in. in height, and the white flowers appear in early spring. In the wild, Enemion biternatum prefers rich, moist soil loaded with organic matter in dappled shade. It can tolerate somewhat drier conditions in the garden, but that may result in slower growth.

This month's contest winner will receive three Enemion biternatum supplied by Sunshine Farm & Gardens.
