Jeffersonia dubia (Twinleaf)

Jeffersonia dubia
(Twinleaf)

An uncommon woodland perennial with understated beauty, Jeffersonia dubia brings delicate blue-lavender flowers to the early spring shade garden. The blooms appear on slender upright stems before the foliage fully develops, creating a graceful display at a time when few perennials are flowering.

After bloom, rounded blue-green leaves expand into a neat clump and provide attractive foliage through the growing season. Native to Korea and northeastern Asia, this distinctive relative of our native twinleaf is a wonderful choice for collectors, woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized plantings.
