Darmera peltata - Umbrella Plant

Darmera peltata, a striking perennial prized for its large, round leaves and showy pink to white flower clusters, is also referred to as the umbrella plant. Early spring blooming flowers give your garden a distinctive touch as they appear before the foliage does. It looks lush and tropical due to its bold, umbrella-like leaves, which makes it ideal for pond edges and other moist, shaded areas.

Plant in well-drained, moist soil in partial to full shade. Water frequently to keep the soil continuously moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch to keep the soil moist and prevent weed growth. In late autumn, trim back old foliage to make room for new growth. Match with hostas or ferns to create a gorgeous woodland garden arrangement. Savour the striking foliage and delicate Darmera peltata blooms.
