Notes/Description:

Native, potentially aggressive, erect, perennial forb. Suited as an aggressive groundcover for shady areas and as a woodland wildflower. It is also suited for shady rain gardens in most soil conditions, especially loams. Because it is aggressive as a ground cover, it is suited for vegetated swales and soil stabilization areas in shady places.
