Coastal miterwort (Mitella ovalis)

Coastal miterwort

Coastal miterwort is a low-growing perennial herb known for its oval, soft-textured leaves that form a basal rosette. In late spring to early summer, it sends up slender stems bearing clusters of tiny, star-shaped white to pale pink flowers that seem to float above the foliage. Thriving in moist, shaded woodland environments, coastal miterwort contributes to the understory's delicate beauty and supports local pollinators.
