Darmera peltata, also known as Indian rhubarb or umbrella plant, is a flowering plant in the Saxifragaceae family. It is the only species in its genus and is native to mountain streamsides in the western United States. This slow-growing perennial can reach up to 2 meters in height and 1 meter in width. The plant is named after 19th-century German horticulturist Karl Darmer. Its flowers, which bloom in late spring, are white to bright pink and appear before the leaves. The leaves are peltate, rounded, and turn red in autumn. In gardens, Darmera peltata is often found in pond margins and bog gardens, where it forms an impressive clump resembling an umbrella. It is a suitable alternative for smaller gardens where there is no space for larger plants like Gunnera manicata or Gunnera tinctoria. This plant has been recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society with the Award of Garden Merit.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Begin at 20°C for 6 weeks, cool to 4°C for 6 weeks, then gradually increase to 10°C over 6 weeks. If no germination, the cycle is repeated. |
| Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water. |
