Pinedrops - 10,000'

Pterospora andromedea


Perennial


I love running into this plant in the deep woods. It grows under pines and in mixed forests, poking up amongst the greenery. Lacking chlorophyll, this mysterious plant has a symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi. This association is with only a handful of fungi in the genus Rhizopogon - some commonly known as 'False Truffles'.


Needless to say, these need to grow where mushrooms grow.


This plant is very cold-hardy. Allow to naturalize.


For best results, plant in fall or cold-stratify.
