A delightful woodlander producing arching stems tipped with panicles of starry white flowers in spring to 35cm. Makes open patches, not dense clumps. Good soil.

The foliage is quite attractive in it's own right, fairly narrow, almost pleated leaves held alternately on each side of the stems.

Native to most of north America where it's found in woodland with soil that doesn't dry out too much.

Synonyms: Smilacina stellata, Convallaria stellata.
