This wildflower spreads by stolons and can spread rapidly in a moist spot. The oblong leaves can be up to three inches long but are usually smaller. In spring, loose clusters of fragrant flowers stand above the foliage. It is an excellent plant for a shady formal garden or a natural area. It serves nicely as a groundcover in a shady site and can provide some erosion control. The flowers attract early pollinators like butterflies and moths. Deer tend to leave it alone but rabbits may nibble it.
