Vancouveria hexandra-Inside Out Flower, American Barrenwort

Propagating Vancouveria or Inside Out is simple. Transplant rooted rhizomes in the spring or fall. This is a native of Vancouver and it is named Inside Out because because when the plant blooms white in late spring it’s petals and sepals turn backwards. It is evergreen in warmer climates, deer resistant and depending on the humidity in the air drought tolerant although to grow profusely it prefers a rich moist woodland type soil that is slightly acidic, i.e. oak trees and partial or full shade. It grows to a height of 8"-10" and is classified as a wild flower.
