Description
This has graceful, delicate-looking, ferny, grey-dusted foliage that makes a perfect foil for the flowers, which are held, in arching spikes above.
The flowers are pure white, with two long, ascending spurs which give the bloom a very distinctive “angular” appearance and their colour and appearance perfectly complements the attractive foliage. It has a small bulb rather like that of the USA Fritillarıa with “rice grain” offsets.
A superb early-spring flowering plant for lovers of grace and beauty, either for an alpine house pot, or a lightly shaded woodland type garden spot in humus rich but well-drained soil. Fully hardy, plump, nursery raised, cultivated stock (not wild collected).
