A wonderful NC native that we see throughout the forests here.
In early spring, it adds a delicate pink shading. It is a wonderful plant to use in combination with surrounding dogwoods to get the white/pink contrast. Once their heart shaped leaves come out, they make a great fill to the woodland understory
