Twinleaf Plants

TN Nursery proudly offers Jeffersonia diphylla, or Twinleaf Plant, a native North American species. It originated in the moist deciduous forests and woodlands of eastern North America. Despite its origins, this plant will also grow well in the moderate temperatures of the Midwest and mid-South regions.

Twinleaf Plants Blooms

Gardeners prize it for its spectacular green stems, leaves, and lovely flowers, which appear soon after the first leaves enter springtime. Although it does produce charming blooms, it is a perennial that grows up to three feet tall.

Twinleaf Plants Appearance

Each flower contains eight white petals with softly rounded edges and a light green to yellow center. They may appear in small, eye-pleasing clusters or singly, in the lovely, random perfection that only Mother Nature can produce. The flowers have a pleasant, soft floral aroma.

Twinleaf Plants Leaves

Twinleaf Plants refer to their leaves, which are light—to medium-green in color and form in pairs or twins. Each pair has a heavenly appearance, similar in shape to an angel's wings emerging from a thin, woody stem.

Twinleaf Plants Uses

Twinleaf prefers full shade, although it can tolerate filtered shade. It has an attractive appearance that will serve you well as an ornamental perennial but can also serve as a specimen in a shade garden.

Like most native species, it does not demand much care. If you plant it in the shade, amend the soil with fertilizer in the early spring and fall, and water it during dry spells, it will give you years of pleasure.
