Snow flower – winter stickout

I was trying to find a name for this plant, commonly known as Bishop’s goutweed, Bishop’s weed, Ground-elder, or Herb gerard. Regardless of its various titles, it is a perennial, winter seeder, herbaceous plant that thrives in many different environments and has a fascinating life cycle. Its ability to spread rapidly makes it a frequent garden challenge. In Finland, we affectionately call it talventörröttäjä, which translates to “Winter stickout,” a name that captures its resilience against the harsh winter elements.
