Maianthemum canadense, Canada Mayflower is a low-growing understory woodlander from North America where it grows in moist, fertile, humus-rich soils in dappled shade, spreading by its rhizomes to form a large colony. The growth is much lower than its tall relative, Maianthemum racemosum and likewise the inflorescence is a modest raceme of tiny star-shaped white flowers that appear in spring and throughout the early summer, held aloft above the foliage. The green berries that follow become mottled with red in the summer turning red and translucent by autumn.
