Our native Herb Paris, arising from slender rhizomes creeping to form sizeable colonies in time of upright short stems 15 to 40cm tall, topped by a whirl of 4(-6) ovate shortly petioled green leaves. This in turn topped by a green 'flower', with thread-like petals. Best grown in a well drained chalky soil, with added leafy humus in full-part shade. Multiple seed raised plants a minimum of 4-5 years old originating from a limestone area on Anglesey.
