This plant appears in my shade garden with a maroon flower and in my sunny garden with a light green flower. It starts out in zone 6b in Connecticut in early April before most other growth and is interesting in the way it starts growing. It has been in bloom for more than 3 weeks and is still going strong. It seems to be relatively hardy and spreads slowly, and I look forward to seeing it sprout up each spring. It is far prettier and more unusual than the plain trillium.
