Bride's Bonnet is a perennial plant characterized by its noteworthy single, sometimes duo, white flowers with six delicate petals. This flower is gracefully perched on a stalk approximately 10 inches (25 cm) tall. The base features a clump of sizeable, blade-like green leaves that contribute to its lush appearance. The growth habit includes a slow expansion through underground rhizomes, and it can also be cultivated by division or seeds. Its distinct flowering trait, with typically only one bloom, is a key feature for recognition.
