Family saxifragaceae Life cycle perennial (Z3) Flowers pink-white (May-June) Size 3' Light part-full shade Cultural notes moist soil Impressive foliage plant, makes a bold statement in our shade garden. The fluffy flower spikes in late spring are a bonus. Illegally imported from my parents' garden in the Netherlands, as a chunk of root. Some years (like this) it does marvellously, others it just sulks (maybe it's homesick?)

A week or two after it starts blooming, the flowers take on a pink cast

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: shade garden
