Outdoor Plant Size

Cutleaf Stephanandra is one of the most versatile and underappreciated shrubs for the Michigan landscape — a low, arching ground cover that delivers delicate texture and reliable four-season interest. Deeply cut, star-shaped leaves create a feathery appearance through spring and summer, followed by warm orange and gold fall color; the graceful arching branch structure adds subtle winter interest after the leaves drop. Tiny white flowers in spring draw butterflies, and the spreading, mounding habit covers ground with dense, low growth that suppresses weeds beautifully. Deer, rabbit, pest, and disease resistant, and tolerant of Black Walnut root competition, it’s an outstanding choice for borders, accent plantings, and challenging spots needing reliable low-maintenance coverage.

Mature Height: 24 - 36"
