Lovely woodland wildflower that is a biennial.  Flowers make a beautiful display in April.  Begins flowering at the bottom of the stalk and progresses upward.  Needs lots of room in a naturalistic woodland setting so plants can move around as older plants die and new seedlings come up.  Attracts bees.
