Product description
Tellima grandiflora brings a soft woodland feel to sunny and shaded areas alike, with elegant spires of tiny bell like flowers rising above scalloped green foliage. Known as Fringecups, it produces blooms that open a creamy shade and gradually fade to soft red tones, adding gentle movement and subtle colour to borders, pathways, and naturalistic planting schemes. Its relaxed, understated style makes it a lovely choice for creating calm, textured spaces in the garden.
Fringecups is easy to care for and settles in well with just a little attention. It grows best in partial shade with soil that stays lightly moist, and once established it needs very little upkeep. A light mulch in spring helps keep the plant looking fresh, while trimming back spent flower stems keeps the display tidy. With steady, reliable growth year after year, Tellima grandiflora brings lasting charm to any outdoor space.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Leaving the seed heads in place over winter gives Tellima rubra a soft, natural structure during the colder months. They add gentle interest to the garden until you tidy them away in early spring.
How to Water
Water Fringecups regularly during its first season to help it establish a strong root system. Once settled, keep the soil evenly moist with occasional deep watering during dry spells to maintain healthy, steady growth.
How to Plant
Plant Fringecups by digging a hole slightly wider than the rootball and loosening the soil at the base to help the roots settle. Set the plant in place so the crown sits level with the soil surface, then backfill gently, firming the soil lightly around the roots to remove air pockets.
