Green-flower Wintergreen is a delicate woodland perennial that requires cool, shaded conditions and acidic, humus-rich soil with reliable moisture. It forms a slow-spreading rosette of leathery evergreen leaves and produces subtle greenish-white nodding flowers in summer. This plant is best suited for experienced gardeners recreating naturalistic woodland or boreal garden settings.
