Pipsissewa

From LoveToKnow Garden

Pipsissewa (Chimaphila) - Small shrubby plants of the Heather order, natives of the dry woods of N. America. C. maculata (Spotted Winter-green) has small leathery leaves variegated with white, 3 to 6 inches high, and is pretty for a half-shady and mossy, but not wet, place in the rock garden, with such plants as the dwarf Andromeda and the Pyrola, and succeeds best in very sandy leaf-soil. C. umbellata, with glossy, unspotted leaves and somewhat larger reddish flowers, is also suited for like positions.
