Fringe cups

An evergreen, low growing perennial.

The flower is about 50- 1/2″ pink folded stars on a 2′ stalk. The rosette of leaves look like a bouquet of grape leaves.

Fringecup makes an excellent ground cover as it spreads easily and looks fabulous en masse. Good for a small scale groundcover in a shady moist spot in the garden. It would also be useful as the front border of a small perennial garden.

Hummingbirds like the high flower spike.
