Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large, clean white flowers, mostly unspotted, with wide overlapping "petals" in broad scalloped or pointed starry shapes. The best from a group in our north garden that shine out from an otherwise leafless area in late winter. These lovely creatures begin flowering as early as December! For part sun to shade in humus rich soil with average summer water. Frost hardy to USDA zone 5.
