wears its flowers like a light summer dress: a wealth of white petals flushed with delicate yellow cover the plant. This summer-flowering perennial forms an upright clump (60cm tall and wide) with narrow, dark green leaves. It grows in full sun, likes fertile soil that drains well and regular watering. Being compact, it doesn’t need staking. As the flowers fade, cut or twist off the stems at the base, leaving the tubers in the ground. The foliage dies down in winter but shoots out quickly in spring.
