Comments:
This perennial is normally associated with marshy areas but which are not flooded. Typical sites include forested wetlands which border streams and meadows. It produces underground rhizomes and blooms in March through May in its native habitat. Blooms are in clusters on tall stems above the foliage. The lance-shaped foliage is dark, glossy green.
