About this plant
A deciduous perennial slowly spreading to form clumps of foliage to 60cm tall. Long-stalked, rounded leaves, often emerging red or bronze-tinted in spring, arise from a thick rhizome and are up to 60cm across and divided into two coarsely-toothed lobes. From late spring into early summer, small, 6-petalled, white flowers to 2cm across are borne in loose clusters and followed by bright blue berries held on red stalks
