Bishop's Cap, also known as Mitella diphylla, is a charming woodland perennial prized for its delicate, lace-like appearance. In spring, it produces dainty, star-shaped white flowers that bloom along slender, upright stems, resembling a bishop's cap. These blooms create a soft, ethereal display that adds a touch of elegance to shaded gardens. Its heart-shaped, toothed leaves form a low-growing clump, providing attractive groundcover throughout the growing season.
Thriving in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soils, Bishop's Cap is perfect for naturalizing in woodland gardens, shade borders, or as an understory plant. Its understated beauty and ability to thrive in low-light conditions make it an excellent choice for bringing subtle charm and texture to shaded areas. Low-maintenance and deer-resistant, Bishop's Cap is a graceful addition to any woodland or shade garden.
