They’re a woodland flowering plant that has a delicate scent with bell-shaped white flowers.
It’s native to Northern Asia and Europe. It can create extensive colonies due to their rhizomes, or underground stems. Each flowering stem has two leaves and up to fifteen flowers. Each of these flowers have around six petals, usually white but sometimes pink. They flower late in the spring, though it could be earlier in the Northern Hemisphere.
