Notes: This woodland composite is a must have for the foliage enthusiast. In early spring the foliage emerges from the soil looking like Shaggy Mane Mushrooms. One of three species of Syneilesis. S. palmata over time will form a sizeable patch, creating an invaluable focal point in the shady garden. I have found that S. palmata takes shade better than s. acontifolia but needs to keept cool and moist. Syneilesis palmata is reported to adapt well to a moderately dry shaded garden. One of my top five favorite foliage plants. Rare but becoming increasingly popular with collectors.
