Hacquetia Epipactis
|
| Hacquetia epipactis is a not very well known low
groundcover in the Northwest. The ones in the garden here are grown in part
shade, under a mixed woodland canopy. Early to flower in the spring, the
'flowers' start off acid yellow and age to a beautiful chartreuse. (The
center of the flower consists of many individual flowers, the five 'petals'
are modified bracts). This plant can benefit from being divided every three
to five years, as it can become congested. Also, seedlings will emerge,
but never in numbers to warrant any concern.
