Earlier blooming and smaller cultivar with 2½-3" pure white flowers. 5 petals and smaller petaloids make the flower look semi-double. Blooms before most of the hybrids, sometimes start blooming in December.
Vigorous, trouble free, early bloomer, great combination with hosta.
Tolerant to black walnuts, long-lived, dry shade tolerant, tough and is a somewhat ground-covering perennial.
Blooming Time: January/February to March/April (depending on your zone). Flowers fade to greenish.
Size: 10-12" tall and 12-14"wide, in time forms wider clumps
USDA Zones: 4 to 9
Culture: Half shade, dappled sun, dappled shade to full shade, virtually any soil that is not waterlogged
