A sneaky little woodland plant. Unusual in that it blooms in the summer in the woods, its flowers are small and there must be some complex relationship with the sun for this species to eke out a living in the shade, exploiting gaps, disturb

American Lopseed

Phryma leptostachya

American Lopseed (Phryma leptostachya) is a landscape plant valued for its form and structure as much as its bloom. American Lopseed is sized and grown for a real yard, not a show bench. Match it to full sun to part shade and water it in for the first season while roots establish. One caveat: like any plant, its published range is a guideline, not a guarantee, for the specific microclimate of your yard. Given a spot that matches its light and water needs, it is a dependable, low-drama addition to the yard.
