Please Note: Plug orders being shipped have a minimum order requirement of 8 plugs. As the Trees & Shrubs will be coming from Wright Nurseries in central Alberta and the Wildflowers, Grasses & Vines from Wild About Flowers by Okotoks, AB, both categories have a minimum order of 8 plugs for plug orders being shipped.

Description: Low, thicket-forming shrub with dramatic large green leaves, 10-20cm across. Large showy white flowers give way to a sizeable raspberry-like fruit, edible but bland. Works well as an understory planting, can grow under spruce and prefers shade.

Notes: Can spread, so make sure you have room for it and that the space has been designed for proper use as an understory plant.

Important Information: The "Bloom Period" is an indicator of the time period within which the wildflowers will bloom and does not describe the time period that a single plant will bloom. The "Sizes" listed are intended to be a general guideline to consult during plant selection. Plant growth and bloom times will vary depending on geographical location & individual site conditions.
