They are bell shaped and bend backward with long whispy\/lacey petals that look like fine hairs or fringe (how it got its common named). There is a lot of variety in the flowers, so always stop and look!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flowering Season: April &#8211; July<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leaves: slightly lobed, round, dark green leaves with hairs and long stalks (petioles)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generation: Perennial<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fun fact: Genus name Tellima comes from an anagram of Mitella, another genus that is very closely related.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restoration and Conservation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fringecup can create thick patches of ground cover, establishing well in disturbed and shady areas (especially along trails), outcompeting invasive weeds.
