Described as native to eastern North America, I know it as a perennial shared among gardeners. It has bright yellow spring flowers on stems about 12-18 inches high. It will gradually spread from the roots, making new rosettes and then new flowering stems in following years. Not an agressive spreader. Hardy to my zone 7 garden in partial shade.
