Smilacina stellata

Dainty looking perennial with a bullet proof disposition! Dry shade? No problem. Tree roots? Bah! Perennial spreading by creeping rhizomes; 12-24" tall stems curve upward, cloaked in deep green, narrow leaves. Light shade is ideal, some summer moisture for best appearance…April to June, small white star flowers in pyramidical clusters (fairy favorite!), followed by wine red berries in fall. Native to U.S.
