purple flowering thin leaved perennial

by Heather
(Caledonia, Ontario)

This plants' foilage looks very similar to a lily. The long slender leaves split into a "V" like shape and sprout clusters of pod-like buds which bloom into beautiful little purple flowers a bit larger than a quarter. I live in Caledonia, Ontario. The plant is in pretty much full shade currently, but has also grown well in part sun as well!

Just so you know, this can be a very invasive plant and hard to get rid of at least in Michigan. Just grow it in an area that you don't mind it creeping as it spreas by its "spidery root system"

Thank you so much for identifying this one, which I couldn't find in books! It was the plant in our garden that was most popular with bees, and flowered for months. I have found little new sprouts of it all over the place, which I plan to transplant in the spring.
