Description

This perennial will grow less than 1' tall and has dark green leaves with flowers that are white colored with a tinge of pink and bloom in winter and spring. It prefers partial shade and would really like to be planted under a deciduous tree so it can receive sun during the summer. It needs to be protected from wind. Plant in fertile, well draining, moist soil. Use generous amount of compost for planting and for refreshing during spring. Roots are poisonous.
