Shade loving species with showy flower. Will go dormant in early summer if the soil is too dry. An attractive seed pod forms following the flowers. Once dormant, the dead plant material breaks down quickly, so cutting back is not necessary. Chipmunks feed on the seeds. Ants disperse the seed, feeding on the attached fleshy material.
