Mountain Misery

Chamaebatia foliolosa

Mountain Misery is a small shrub that grows in rocky places. It has soft, green leaves and pretty white flowers that bloom in the spring. This plant is special because it can survive in tough mountain conditions!

Lebensraum: Mountain regions

Aussehen

The Mountain Misery is a low-growing, mat-forming shrub with deeply divided, fern-like green leaves. Its foliage is notably sticky and resinous, often appearing somewhat glossy. Small, white, five-petaled flowers bloom above the dense mats, adding a bright contrast to its darker leaves.
