Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Green, triangular-leaved clovers, adorned by simple white flowers in Spring. Prefers bright but indirect light, and attracts butterflies when in bloom.
Deep green pinwheel foliage and lots of tiny white flowers on whisper-thin stems - this shamrock is pretty, easy, happy on a sunny windowsill or in the garden. Need some filler around the bottom of a mixed container? Poke in a handful of these bulbs and be prepared to blink at their growth speed. Sweet!
