Indian Physic Live Plant | Porteranthus stipulatus | Native Woodland Perennial Starter Plant

Add graceful beauty to your native garden with Indian Physic, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its airy clusters of creamy-white flowers, attractive fern-like foliage, and exceptional woodland appeal. Porteranthus stipulatus (formerly Gillenia stipulata), commonly known as Indian Physic, is a hardy North American native perennial admired for its delicate appearance and long-lasting seasonal interest. It is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, pollinator gardens, native plant landscapes, cottage gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized areas. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms in late spring through early summer.

Indian Physic thrives in partial shade to full sun with consistently moist, well-draining soil. Its finely textured foliage emerges fresh green in spring and often develops attractive golden-yellow tones in autumn. Delicate star-shaped white flowers dance above the foliage on slender reddish stems, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Once established, this long-lived native perennial requires minimal maintenance and brings elegance to shaded and partially shaded gardens.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Indian Physic starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
