Hydrophyllum appendiculatum 

Great Waterleaf

• Partial to full shade

New to me, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/hydrophyllum-appendiculatum-great-waterleaf-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

These are a very showy, biennial species, forming a green rosette of leaves the first year and then blooming and setting seed the following spring.
