Twin leaf

From LoveToKnow Garden

Twin-leaf (Jeffersonia) - An interesting dwarf plant, allied to the Blood-root, J. diphylla being from 6 to 10 inches high, the flowers white, about 1 inch across, in early spring. It is a good plant for peaty and somewhat shady spots on the rock garden, and for the margins of beds of dwarf American plants. Seed should be sown in sandy soil as soon as gathered, but careful division of the root in winter is the best way to increase the plant. A native of rich woods in N. America.
