Inside-Out Flower
A lovely little understory groundcover native to the western side of the Cascades and the coast where it grows as a small ground cover on the forest floor. Easy to grow and a perfect native ground cover for the shade garden that slowly spreads to form a nice little mat. Interesting shaped leaves and elegant little white flowers that indeed look as though they are inside out.
