Common, late spring, perennial, 1-3 ft.
Upright stems with few horizontally spreading branches, the upper stems somewhat hairy. Flowers 1-3 at tips of stems, consisting of greenish or creamy white hanging bells with spreading lobes, with stamens extending outward. Berries are dark yellow to bright red.

Edgewood, Wa. Delightful plant with very handsome lance shaped foliage. Each stem is multi-branched. It blooms with small white pendent flowers that are followed by orange fruit. Wonderful plant for the woodland or shade garden. Prefers light humus soil. Super native plant of the Pacific Northwest.
