Uvularia grandiflora (Bellwort) is an upright, clump-forming perennial boasting arching stems clothed with bright green, lanceolate leaves and clusters of nodding, narrowly bell-shaped pale yellow flowers, 1.5 in. long (4 cm). Blooming in mid to late spring, the flowers are twisted in bud and slightly so in flower. They give way to a three-lobed fruit which rests on the leaves through the summer. Uvularia grandiflora spreads by rhizomes, thriving in moist, shady areas. A graceful and subtle woodland plant. Plant in mass under trees or along wood margins.
