Description:
I first discovered this plant in my neighbour's garden. I didn't know what it was but I was desperate to take a chunk. She obliged and it's been a brilliant performer in shady areas of my garden ever since. The flowers have a semi-translucent feel to them - they look particularly dazzling when covered with dew in the morning!
Care:
Very low maintenance plant. I think it looks best in damper shade but it will survive in dry sun as well. Can be divided as it's clump forming!
