About This Plant
Delicate, fringed, white cup-like blossoms line the stem of this plant, which have a single pair of leaves halfway up the stem. Seeds look like caviar in a green cup and are dispersed when rain hits the cup. The plant will spread slowly via rhizome, making it ideal for home landscapes.
