Peltiphyllum peltatum
- Product number: 599740
- Origin: North America
- Latin: Peltiphyllum peltatum, also known as Darmera peltata
An aquatic plant that thrives on the banks or in shallow water, native to the creeks of Northwest America. The leaf stalks are tasty and can be eaten peeled, both raw and (briefly) cooked. The taste is fresh, sour, and slightly sweet, becoming more robust towards the leaf. Use young stems! Before the leaves emerge, pink flowers appear on long, bare stems, after which the round and wavy, very decorative leaves form an imposing plant: beautifully reflecting along the waterside. In autumn, the leaves turn reddish-bronze. The plant creeps and spreads with above-ground rhizomes. Both sun and shade are fine, as long as it is moist. Flowering time April-July, depending on the location.
