Syneilesis aconitifolia

Syneilesis aconitifolia
(Shredded Umbrella Plant) Emerging foliage is covered with a unique white fur. Creamy white to pale pink flowers on mauve pink calyxes tower above the foliage in midsummer.  The leaves are this plant's most distinctive feature: deeply lobed, with a texture that appears shredded. Part sun-full shade. 12-18", Z4-8.
