Gillenia stipulata

Synonym(s) Porteranthus stipulatus; spiraea stipulata
Common name American ipecac
Family rosaceae
Life cycle perennial (Z5)
Flowers white (May-June)

Wildflower. So far it appears to be similar to G. trifoliata (which we've had in the garden for years), with perhaps a bushier habit.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston.
