This is my first yr growing this. Got 2 small rooted pieces of it last yr from a generous DG'er. It came thru the winter almost evergreen. It is blooming right now for me and looks to be spreading- which I really want it to do.
So for zone 7b and above, the bloom time is early spring.

From above:
Grows in moist well-drained, humus-rich soil in sun or partial shade.
While I hardily agree it needs these conditions for peak growth and bloom, it also is tougher than this qualifier makes it seem.
We first planted C. virginianum in Spring 6 years ago knowing absolutely nothing about it.
So into dry, morning sun, Maple shade it went.
It's still doing well, up every Spring and nice flowers.
We water when we remember but don't really baby it.
It has steadily increased in size and seems content .
It is a tough little plant!
We have since taken divisions and the clumps in the better conditions, moist and rich, ARE gorgeous and lush.
But something about that tough little parent plant.......

I fell in love with this plant when I first saw a photo and description. I managed to get some starts this summer, and they have steadily increased in number. The runners root just like strawberry plants, at the nodes.

Great as a ground cover - in sun or shade, leathery green leaves stay green all winter. Easily transplanted and divided. Hardy at least to zone 6 and south. One of the earliest bloomers in spring and speradicaly all year.
