Description
Bring bold texture and early-season charm to your Massachusetts garden with the Umbrella Plant, a distinctive perennial prized for its oversized, emerald green leaves and early spring blooms. Pink to white flower spikes emerge before the foliage, adding a subtle burst of color. As the season progresses, the massive serrated leaves steal the show—turning a striking red in fall for multi-season interest.
The Umbrella Plant thrives in moist, rich soil and performs best in part shade. If planting in full sun, regular watering is key to prevent leaf scorch. Ideal for bog gardens, borders, naturalized areas, and containers, this deer-resistant perennial adds architectural interest to woodland settings and shaded garden corners throughout Massachusetts.
Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
