My Mom gave me this plant a couple years ago and it's doing well in a shaded area. She had it in too much sun and it fried in the summertime.
The leaves get about 10 cm high and the flowers in spring are taller. This one is just starting to bloom - you can see lots of healthy buds on it. They bloom for several weeks and then the flowers and stems should be cut off when finished.
This poor plant is lonely because it's blooming in an area all by itself right now - when my Mom gave it to me I just plunked it in an empty spot. I think this fall I will split it and move some beside the bergenia in the back garden, and the bleeding heart in the front, both of which are still blooming right now and will make nice partners for my lonely leopard's bane.
This plant needs at least partial shade and is not drought tolerant.
