Fiddle dock
Rumex pulcher
Fiddle dock is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial that tolerates a wide range of soil types and conditions, making it easy to establish in garden borders or wildflower areas. It prefers full sun to partial shade and average moisture, rarely requiring supplemental watering once established. It spreads freely by seed, so deadhead spent flower spikes if you wish to contain its spread.
