Concerning Hydrophyllum Canadense: the order arrived in disarray, 5 naked black buckets (including 1 empty) that cannot be identified because the labels are mixed up, in the box. Is the content of the empty bucket that arrived? I have a photo of the 4 young plants that were planted, whose names I am unaware of, in order to proceed by elimination...

Description

Perennial plant forming a very dense rounded bush with remarkable foliage. The wide, lobed leaves, divided into 5 to 9 parts, resemble a large maple leaf in a beautiful vibrant green. The flowers, carried in clusters, are whitish and quite insignificant. However, they are followed by strange fruits, like large round and thorny capsules.
