Nodding wakerobin is marked by its distinctive three-petaled flower, each petal spanning up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) long. The blooms are a striking white and unfurl above a trio of broad, green leaves that cluster at the base. These large leaves often reach lengths of 4-6 inches (10-15 cm). The plant itself grows to a modest height of about 12-18 inches (30-45 cm). Post-blooming, it retreats into dormancy as the woodland canopy thickens in mid-summer.
