Hardy Perennial. This is a charming little perennial that is suited to shady gardens. It is one of the first flowers to appear in early spring in the woodlands. This is a good choice for mountainous areas and is best in a rock garden or wildflower setting. Grown not only for its flowers but also its good-looking foliage which is bronze when young and turns to a glossy green when mature. Flower petals appear in pink or white and are usually striped.
