Hardy Perennial. This is an elegant choice for the wild garden. Grassy, gray-green foliage forms a dense clump. The flower stems rise gracefully above this foliage and present myriads of starry, white flowers with a rich fragrance. As the flower spire develops, it elongates and creates a cylinder of flowers. Divide your tubers carefully and only for propagation. Humus-rich, acid soil is best for this native woodland plant.
