Tiny white flowers, typically in three, globe-shaped clusters 4–5 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –2 in) wide, are produced on tall scapes that grow about the same height as the leaves, about 30–60 cm (12–24 in) high. The flowers bloom from May to July and develop into purple-black edible berries. The leaves go dormant in summer before the fruits ripen.
