A much admired woodland perennial for partial shade or shady moist soils. Foliage on this species is dissected into finger-like growths, only one leaf per petiole. The stem resides below the soil surface and is brown in colour. Multiplication is by division of these rhizomes. Flowers are daisy-like and around 2 cms wide or so. Each is composed of a central boss of rich green petals and ray florets of a clean white colour. These can often last for two to three weeks if the weather conditions are cool. Overall flowering period is around eight weeks long.
Maybe a little slower growing than the other nemorosa hybrids listed here.
These are supplied as several rhizomes in a 9cm pot.
