Bigflower Tellima, Fragrant Fringecup, Fringe Cups, Tellima breviflora, Tellima odorata
Tellima grandiflora (Fringe Cups) is a compact perennial forming a neat clump of shallowly-lobed, rounded, toothed, softly hairy leaves, 4 in. wide (10 cm), sometimes tinged with purple. The leaves are evergreen in warm winter areas. From mid-spring to mid-summer, slender and graceful wands of small, urn-shaped flowers adorned with fringed petals are carried well above the rich green foliage mound. The unusual petals are at first white or cream but often become deep pink with age. Sometimes fragrant, the flowers attract hummingbirds. Native to central California to southern Alaska, Fringe Cups spreads by rhizomes and self-seeding. It can be somewhat aggressive and form colonies in optimum growing conditions. This species is a beautiful plant of shaded woods and a choice plant to combine with ferns.
