One of those plants that is easily overlooked but which performs reliably in most situations.
I have just got around to planting it in the woods where it is reaonably safe from encroaching weeds.
I should plant more of them really - I'm not sure why I only ever plant one of anything?

It comes from central Europe where it grows on the edges of woodlands in mountains in the company of Hellebores.

I couldn't understand why it wasn't spreading through the bed until I noticed that the rabbits were eating it
in preference to almost anything else. I have built a little fence around it for now, and will move a piece into the shade garden
(which has a rabbit fence) while I think about the best way forward.

I am just about holding on to it though it disappears in the face of a hungry rabbit.
