A more recent addition to the garden from sister Cate and her wife, Zoe, this plant was gifted to me when she moved from a rental house and allowed Tim and me to raid the garden. I’m guessing this was six years ago. This gorgeous cultivar is planted in the orchard garden near the fence. It not only blooms wonderfully each year, but it also sets seeds and has seedlings come up around it each year.
This hard-working perennial never fails to give a late winter show in February and March. My 2020 plans for this plant include pulling up the seedlings beneath it and trying to grow them on. Otherwise, this plant doesn’t ask for anything and it gives plenty!
