Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This little darling comes all the way from South Africa…well mannered, neat and tidy (unlike any of my children) clumping perennial with fine, grassy medium green foliage 8-10"…flower stalks just above foliage with tiny flowers reminiscent of miniature daffodils, white or touched with rose with bright yellow centers in graceful trusses…heaviest on spring, sporadic the rest of the season – wonderfully fragranced with vanilla orchid scent! Deciduous in winter…well drained soils, sun to light shade – nice in the rock garden or close up in a trough. RARE.
