About this plant

A pleasing plant admired by many for its ordered and rather elegant growth habit. It has three-part (trifoliate), strawberry-shaped leaves and, in early summer, pretty round, open-faced white flowers held on stout stems above the foliage. It is an excellent plant for a cool or partially shaded area where it can make an ordered, fairly solid anchor to other plants.
