Even though there's a definite resemblance to spring snowflakes, they're actually quite different. Kind of like a spring snowflake on stilts?
Charming, delicate and light, they'll dance their way through your flower beds.
Up to eight white flowers with green tips prettily grow on delicate stems. They're fragrant, low-maintenance and tough. Just make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely.
Very winter hardy and they look pretty in pots.
