Also dormant all spring and summer. In August, the pink to white flowers will appear sporadically until the season cools. The foliage will be beautiful all fall and winter.

Usually pink, sometimes white flowers 1" tall with darker, ruffled-like base. Very attractive, silver mottled foliage from late fall thru spring. For well drained soil. Great for planting under trees and shrubs where they naturalize. Summer dormant. 2 3/
