Gillenia trifoliata Size:9cm pot Choose a sheltered spot andOften called Bowman's Root, Gillenia trifoliata is a spectacular, shrub like herbaceous perennial that provides visual interest for three seasons. It smothers its distinct reddish stems in a cloud of delicate, starry white flowers in summer, before the fresh green foliage turns a blazing, fiery red and orange colour in the autumn. Settle the woody crown into deep, rich loam on the edge of a woodland border where it receives partial, dappled sunlight.
