Twinflower is a delicate boreal groundcover that thrives in cool, moist, acidic soils under dappled shade, mimicking its native forest habitat. Keep the soil consistently moist and mulch well to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. It is best suited to rock gardens or shaded woodland settings in cooler climates and does not tolerate heat or drought.
