About
A selected form of the white inside-out flower, forming a creeping, deciduous perennial ground-cover for shaded woodland gardens. Like the species, it produces fresh green, divided leaves in spring and small, swept-back, white flowers on leafless stems in late spring to early summer, with neat, weed-suppressing foliage through the season.
