Cream-green variegated foliage.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Low mat of small variegated leaves from the mountains of Turkey – sweet airy white flowers, very early, Feb-March, so nice bulb cover for crocus, galanthus and early narcissus! Rich, light, free draining soil is a must (so perfect in rock gardens) – full sun to light shade; some summer water – shear after bloom to renew foliage.
