Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Somewhat similar to Anemonella thalictroides and flowering about the same time (early Spring). Flowers somewhat resemble Hepatica, no surprise here as they are members of the same family, Ranunculaceae. It's about 3-6" tall and more delicately dissected than Anemonella thalictroides. It prefers a somewhat moist soil and part to full shade.
You know spring has arrived when you start to see this little plant bloom. It adds a splash of white to the understory of woods covered with the drab leaves of fall and winter. The plant forms colonies with its horizontal creeping stems. It is usually associated with other species such as Claytonia and, Eyrthronium. ZONE 4
