Besondere Fähigkeiten

Fähigkeit

Groundcover Power

Yellow archangel can blanket large areas using fast-growing underground stems that help it outcompete other plants for light and space.

Fähigkeit

Shade Thriver

Ant Courier Service

Yellow archangel's seeds have a fatty 'treat' (elaiosome) that ants love, so ants carry the seeds away, helping the plant spread far and wide.
