It is noted for producing dense carpets of striking white, five-petaled flowers that typically bloom in late spring and early summer. The plant features deeply lobed, dark green basal leaves that form an attractive ground cover. Because of its vigorous spreading habit, it is often used in native plant gardens and restoration projects in moist, partially shaded areas.
