Circaea alpina subsp. alpina
Circaea alpina subsp. alpina
Alpine enchanter's nightshade is a delicate woodland perennial that thrives in cool, shaded environments with consistently moist, humus-rich soil. It produces tiny white flowers on slender spikes in summer and spreads gently by rhizomes, making it a lovely understory ground cover for shade gardens. Avoid dry or hot conditions, and mulch the root zone to retain soil moisture and mimic its natural forest-floor habitat.
