An early-flowering variety. Beautiful, double, pure-white flowers with very long and twisted sepals, borne during April and May. During summer and autumn they are followed by decorative, bright, silky seed heads, becoming fluffy and gray with age. A very hardy plant with low requirements, it will grow in semi-shaded positions
Ideal for growing over low fences and walls or scrambling over rocks, old stumps, shrubs and conifers. Makes good ground cover.Raised by Dr F. L. Skinner, Canada 1961.
