Wildflower of North America, primarily found east of the Rockies. Similar to S. angustifolium, but this one has simple unbranched stems with a terminal spathe. Started blooming in the first half of May in its second year; I was charmed by the simple elegance of my two plants (that's as many seedlings as I managed to raise last year). So hopefully they'll stick around in my rock garden.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
