This spreading, rhizomatus woodland plant bears narrow, sleek leaves and delicate terminal spikes of white, star-shaped flowers. These are followed by a red-striped, edible berry, much appreciated by wildlife and a true visual pleasure. Best planted in rich, moist woodlands, where it will naturalize and form a broad mat.
