Description
An herbaceous, tuberous-rooted, ground-hugging woodland perennial with glossy green, arrowhead-shaped leaves. Flowers are maroon and white with a unique tail-like tip which can stretch to 6 inches (15 cm). The whole floral effect is of the back end of a mouse diving underground with its tail waving in the air.
This is a spring ephemeral, appearing in early spring and disappearing below ground in the heat of summer. Relatively drought tolerant once established. Pest and disease resistant.
