Maianthemum stellatum Blue Dune Amarcrinum As fall approaches(syn: Smilacina stellata) Maianthemum 'Blue Dune' is a 2008 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of an amazing, heat tolerant form of the native deciduous groundcover. I'm fascinated why this isn't more widely cultivated, considering that it's native to all of the continental US except the southeastern "gang of 8 states," from NC across to Texas. Maianthemum stellatum makes a tough groundcover with 20" stems arising from the underground rhizomes. Each
