A plant that comes with severe warnings, for it spreads agressively by its roots. I grew it from seed, and it hasn't left the pot in which I grew it: I planted it pot and all in the summer of its first season, where it overwintered and came back strong for its second year. It proceeded to bloom, and I thought it looked rather like Adenophora lilifolia, which has similar invasive tendencies. It still lives in its pot, but I'm feeling its ornamental properties are probably not worth the trouble...
