Gillenia trifoliata
Bowman’s Root is a native perennial that thrives in shadier areas, but will tolerate full sun. The leaves are 3 parted, simple, oblong, serrated and have a nice burgundy color in the fall. It produces white flowers with slender petals. The flowers will attract native bees. It’s clump forming and will become bushy, but airy. It’s rather unique! They’re often found in mountainous regions with upland, rocky forests but they can be easily grown in shade gardens.
