Cindy, it was new to me also when a gardening friend gave me a clump of it. This is the double variety-- a wonderful shade plant!! After the blossoms fade, the circular ruffle-edged leaves grow tall forming a showy cluster of dark green foliage. I believe there is a pink variety as well. The single-flowered variety grows wild in my woods. Thanks for your kind comments! :)

Thanks, Patricia and Gord! The clump grows larger each year, but the plant itself does not spread from one place to another. The spread is merely in the size of the clump as it matures, so there are more lovely flowers each spring. It is definitely not an invasive plant in any way. It is a joy to behold as the lovely flowers emerge followed by the lush leaves. :o)

I especially like the unfolding blooms along with the open flowers. Lovely! Like others, I've never seen this double variety. Glad they are thriving in your garden.

I'm not really a gardener anymore but I love flowers and have a botanical interest in them too.
