distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of 35 species of creeping, rhizomatous, evergreen perennials from woodland and moorland in the N. hemisphere. They are grown for their basal clusters of alternate, simple, usually rounded to ovate, long-stalked, mid- to dark green leaves, and their upright racemes of cup- to bowl-shaped, usually white, occasionally pink or red flowers, borne in summer. They can be difficult to establish, possibly needing a mycorrhizal association with specific, soil-dwelling fungi. Grow in a woodland garden, peat bed, or rock garden.

propagation_en: Surface-sow seed in containers of damp sphagnum moss as soon as ripe. Divide with care in spring; roots resent disturbance.
