Diphylleia cymosa | American Umbrella Leaf

DESCRIPTION
Diphylleia cymosa is a woodland perennial native to the Appalachian Mountains of the United States. It blooms in late spring to early summer, producing delicate white flowers in small clusters that sit above the plant's distinctive, large, lobed leaves. The flowers are followed by deep blue berries that add seasonal interest and attract wildlife.

This plant is well-suited to shaded environments, thriving in cool, forested habitats. Its natural range includes higher elevations, where it contributes to the understory's lush and textured appearance. Diphylleia cymosa is particularly admired for its foliage, which creates a bold visual element in woodland gardens or naturalistic landscapes.
