Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We got this pretty baby from Windcliff and still have much to learn about it. The shining, evergreen foliage is very nice and it forms a vigorous mound fairly fast. Flowers are white in spring and resemble fluttering doves. Simply elegant! Typical Epi culture... light shade, humusy, well drained soils and ample moisture for maximum happiness!
