Tellima grandiflora
Fringe cup (Tellima grandiflora) is a perennsel perennial flowering plant native to North America, it is found in woods, meadows and cliffs in western Canada and United States, especially in the maritime northwest. It has attractive, white or pink bell-like blossoms on each stem, which bloom in late Spring and Summer. The foliage is evergreen and composed of thin deep green leaves with toothed margins. It is a good choice as a ground cover or rock garden plant. Its long bloom season and hardiness make it an attractive addition to the garden. Fringe Cup is unfussy and easy to grow in part shade to full sun with ample moisture. It is also deer-resistant.

watering
Fringe cup (Tellima grandiflora) should be watered regularly when soil appears to be dry, typically once or twice a week. Water should be applied until it begins to trickle out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. The frequency of watering may need to be adjusted depending on the season and temperature to avoid over-watering. It is best to wait until the top 1 inch of soil is dry before watering again. Moisture levels should be monitored more closely in warm weather when the plant is actively growing.
sunlight
Fringe cups (Tellima grandiflora) prefer partially shaded locations with filtered sunlight. In ideal conditions, they should get a few hours of direct morning or late afternoon sunlight each day, but should not be exposed to direct sunlight during the middle of the day. It is important to note that nearby trees and other obstacles should provide shade and the plants must not be shaded by a wall or other structures throughout the day. Areas with morning sun followed by shade from an overhead obstruction may be the best compromise.
pruning
Fringe cup (Tellima grandiflora) requires minimal pruning, mostly just to tidy up and keep the desired shape. Prune at the end of the flowering season, late spring into early summer. Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged shoots. After that, remove any branches that are crossing or rubbing against each other. For a more drastic pruning of the plant, prune away no more than 1-third of the existing growth. Doing more than this may be too destructive.
