It sits on the bench next to crassipes 'Alba' and the two seem to have merged in my mind, except of course the flowers on this are pink, maybe the leaves are different too. I really don't care; this one is supposed to like the shade but it is sitting in dead full sun flowering like mad, I'll trade a flat of it for a few plants of Oxalis laciniata or O. bryoides. ZONE 5
