Easy and adaptable, this will even grow well in tubs or mixed containers. A favourite for growing as a ground-cover in shady areas, be sure to Protect from afternoon sun. Plants form a spreading clump of large green leaves, bearing short spikes of fragrant white bells in late spring.
Takes a year or two to establish, then spreads quickly. May go dormant in summer.
Tolerant of poor soils, even dry shade, but prefers a rich, moist soil.
CAUTION: Toxic if eaten.
CAUTION: Do not discard unwanted plants in any natural areas, as they will establish themselves and become invasive.
