They typically have two petals and two sepals, which are often white or cream-colored. The petals and sepals are arranged in a way that gives the appearance of a tiny bell. Its leaves are simple and alternate along the stem. They are oval or elliptical in shape and two to four inches long. The arrangement is such that one leaf grow from each node on the stem. This wildflower thrives in cool temperatures and moist soils. It prefers shade or part shade and moist, rich soil. You’ll often find it in damp, mossy wooded areas or moist forests. (LS)
