Mountain Boykinia

Mountain boykinia is a perennial herb native to moist forests, streambanks, and shaded rocky slopes. It forms clumps of broad, lobed, toothed basal leaves. In late spring to summer, it sends up tall, slender flowering stalks bearing clusters of small, white, star-shaped flowers that attract pollinators. Mountain boykinia thrives in cool, shaded, and consistently moist habitats like streambanks where it helps stabilize soil. It is cultivated in shade gardens for its foliage and gorgeous, airy floral displays.
