Comments: Darmera is native to Oregon and California.  The  
genus consists of this single species.  The plant gets its  
name from the large, round, lobed leaves.  In autumn, the   
leaves will turn red.  The flowers are pink and appear in   
early spring before the leaves.  The individual flowers     
are small but they are borne on large, branched stems.      
Provide a site with partial shade and an evenly moist       
soil.
