Coptis japonica
Coptis japonica is a dwarf evergreen plant native to the mountain woodlands of Japan, from Hokkaido to Shikoku. It forms a clump from a thick underground rhizome, with glossy, dark green, triangular-shaped leaves. In spring, it produces flowers resembling mixed drink umbrella-stirrers, adding a whimsical touch to shade gardens and fairy garden settings.
