Maianthemum dilatatum

Native perennial, found from California to Alaska in the understories of forests and along stream banks. Two heart-shaped leaves emerge in spring, followed by an upright stalk ending with a cluster of small white flowers that turn to red berries in the summer. The flowers have a sweet, perfume scent if you’re willing to get low enough on the ground to smell them.

Prefers part-shade to shade, and moist to wet soil. Spreads very readily by rhizome, making a fast-established ground cover.

Grows 4-8” tall

This plant is on the Portland Plant List.

Size: 3.5” pot
