Another exotic plant for people who have enough shady locations in their garden to make room for this spectacular specimen. This plant is a tuberous woodland perennial.

But the good news is that it is not so hard to take care of. So you can take advantage of the New York Botanical Garden sale and get one now.

So if you have space for this beauty in your garden, you should give it a shot.
