brewer's-cap

Overview

Brewer's-cap, also called Bishop's-cap, is a low-growing, deciduous plant native to moist woodlands across North America. It has two angular, white-edged leaves, hence the common name “diphylla” for its species name. It produces upright clusters of little greenish-white or pinkish flowers with bracts resembling a Bishop’s miter. As the flowers fade, the seed heads resemble a small Brewer’s cap and turn a rich brown in the fall. It is a hardy plant, suitable for flower beds, borders, and rock gardens. It tolerates partial shade, acidic soil, and regular watering, making it an ideal choice for landscaping or center-pieces.
