Caution: this plant is very, very invasive. If planted with that in mind, it is a delightful plant. The leaves are lovely and make a nice groundcover in season. In June-July the white flowers are beautiful. I have planted it both in a woodland setting and in dry shade and it flourishes in both sites.
