This small, clumping wildflower is very easy to grow. Some consider its heart-shaped leaves to be unsightly in lawns but they tolerate mowing and some foot traffic. In the garden, it can serve as a small filler plant or as a groundcover when planted closely together. It will produce volunteer seedlings. Bees pollinate the flowers, including some specialized native bees. It serves as a host to the caterpillars of variegated and great spangled fritillary butterflies. Rabbits and deer eat the leaves.
