This tiny gem combines 3" grass-like foliage with up-facing 3/4" white flowers edged with deep-pink most of the season...beautiful in rock garden, container, or bonsai. S-PSh/M/GDr

Small plant, to only 5" tall, the grass-like leaves forming small clumps topped in late spring / early summer with the palest pink flowers tipped and centered in red. Said to be the most fragrant of the species. Best grown in full sun with summer moisture and soil that drains very well. These are winter deciduous and happiest if entirely protected from winter rains through movable pots or troughs. Late to emerge in spring, their spot should be well marked for safety. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7.

A floriferous hybrid Rhodohypoxis from South Africa which white flowers nicely flushed in pink. This will easily cover itself in flowers in June-July increasing quickly making a dense clump which can be divided. Your friends will expect you to be gracious unless you come up with a plausible excuse.

A charming selection with the white petals edged in purple. Needs well drained soil. In colder regions they can be grown easily in pots, which can be overwintered in a cool, dry room.
