Interesting info

This bushy plant with tiny flowers is easy to overlook. Blooms in the spring, just about the time that the Virginia bluebells are winding down.

The flowers produce a single globe-like, silvery gray, hard seed.

The plants are found where the pokeweed grows, but the flower blooms before the pokeweed gets tall enough to shade them.
