Maianthemum racemosum subsp. amplexicaule, commonly known as Feathery False Lily of the Valley, Treacleberry, or False Solomon’s Seal, is a perennial herb native to rich, moist, deciduous forests, and forest edges in North America. It exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching heights of 1.5-2.5 feet (0.46-0.8 meters). This plant features arching stems with alternate, oval to oblong leaves that clasp the stem. The small, creamy-white flowers are arranged in feathery, terminal panicles and bloom in late spring to early summer, followed by speckled red berries in the fall. The flowers are modestly showy, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Feathery False Lily of the Valley is valued for its graceful foliage and understated floral display, which adds texture and interest to shaded garden areas. It is commonly used in woodland gardens, as a ground cover, or in naturalized areas. It thrives in part shade to full shade and prefers medium moisture, well-drained loam soils. While generally low-maintenance, it can spread to form colonies and should be given space to naturalize. Gardeners should be aware of its potential to spread, though it is not typically aggressive.CC BY-SA 4.0
