    The larger and more profuse fragrant white bells of this fantastic selection are wonderful for the garden or for tiny bouquets. This improved version of a much-loved shade garden perennial/groundcover is perfect. The pretty blooms are held up above the foliage. This is an enchanting and highly fragrant picture for the woodland garden. PSh-Sh/M
