A long blooming graceful perennial that blooms at a time when others are beginning to decline. The foliage forms a nice mound of large, trifoliate leaves. Since they bloom later in the season, they make a great foil for hiding the dying foliage of spring flowering bulbs. They like moist soil in sun/part shade, but do not like to have their root system sitting in wet soil. Plant them in an area where you won’t mind if they spread because if they like the site, they will.
