(1992) This species is common in the mountains of NC, but does not do very well in the Charlotte climate. Our plant is struggling, with the entire plant cut back to some fresh growth at the base (as of 2017). This plant is located on the trail near the point where the trail takes a sharp bend to the northeast towards the Short Branch Spur.
