Description
A beautiful, interesting species for the woodland garden with palmate lobate leaves and tall, branching flowers stems with inflorescences composed of white, fragrant, feather looking flowers (apetalous); they resemble very much those of Hydrastis canadensis. It grows from a rhizome (so expect flowers in the third or fourth year).
It prefers a rich, rather moist substrate, otherwise it is easy in cultivation and combines well with many other woodlanders.
Trautvetteria populations from N. America and Asia were treated as different varieties for a while but it seems no differentiating characters could be found between them. More work needs to be done for sure; there are also news of other possible distinct species in NA.
Germination: probably sowing the seeds asap will lead to best germination like for other members of Ranunculaceae. In any case, also be prepared for germination in the second year!
