Linnaea borealis (Twinflower)
Twinflower is a splendid PNW woodland native evergreen groundcover-like perennial, with long trailing stems and charming ''twin'' flowers. The tiny oppositely-arranged leaves are glossy and dark green - the perfect backdrop for the delicately fragrant, pale-pink bell-shaped flowers in nodding pairs at the end of 4-6" stalks.
Prized for its evergreen foliage and its more delicate spreading habit, which permits plenty of other PNW shade-loving perennials to share the space!
Linnaea takes its name from the famous botanist, Linnaeus (1707-1778), who is commonly referred to as the ''father of taxonomy.''
