Shredded Umbrella Plant

Syneilesis palmata

I’m bummed this plant never made it out of the ground. It could be a siting issue – the area where I planted it can be dry – but I somehow doubt that, as the entire yard is pretty moist most of the year, especially in February when I put it in the ground. If I do come across another specimen I’ll probably try again though. Its foliage is so interesting! I love how our similarly shaped hardy impatiens lend a spiky contrast to the round hosta leaves dominating the garden, and it would be nice to throw another plant with those same visual qualities into the mix.
