Chloranthus

Choice and uncommon Japanese native making a many stemmed plant with lots of white bottle-brush flowers in spring. The glossy green and nicely textured leaves are pleasant the rest of the season.

Chicken Feet. Native to China and named for the floral phalangeal arrangement of small greenish white flowers on thin stems which are quite fragrant. Widely grown subshrub for its use as an aromatic especially for a tea additive and for medicinal properties. Useful in the frost-free or nearly so shade garden. We've enjoyed more than a few chicken feet at meals in our travels through areas where this grows.
