Tellima grandiflora
( TEL - im - uh )
At-A-Glance InformationCommonly called Fringe Cups, this interesting looking flowering perennial needs partial to full shade and regular water. It is native to central California up to southern Alaska, and reaches 2.5 feet tall and 1.5 feet wide. Confused with Tiarella at times, though this plant does not have the same feathery flowers. This plant has creeping roots and light green somewhat hairy leaves. Flowers with tiny, divided petals open green and mature to a deep red. They are not showy, but are wonderful when they can be admired from a close distance. They are great when planted amongst ferns in woodland gardens. Fringe Cups grows best in zones A3, 2-9 and 14-17 (To find your zone, click here: Zone Map).
