Positive hillfarm On Apr 30, 2007, hillfarm from Quesnel, BC (Zone 4a) wrote:

I grew this from seed from Gardens North in Ontario, Canada. Apparently a native of Japan.

Very hardy so far; survived being in the path of the snowblower (accidentally) this last winter, and being encased in ice the winter before that; grows on the edge of a shady bed under the eaves of the house, south-west exposure but shaded by trees/shrubs most of the day.

Maple-like foliage is outstanding, has a reddish tint and a silken sheen that is extremely attractive. Other perennial gardeners stop dead by this one, "What IS that?!"

Blooms very early - buds appear before foliage. Star-shaped flowers last a long time, are tinged with pink as they age.

Neutral Terry On Sep 12, 2001, Terry from Murfreesboro, TN (Zone 7a) wrote:

An under-used woodland member of the Saxifrage family. Leaves are shaped like maple leaves (hence its name), five-petaled white flowers in dense panicles arise in spring. Grow in good fertile loam in an area where the plant will receive some sunlight each day, but not too much especially in the south.

Regional...
