Plant details
This unusual plant resembles a rather fragile lily that is most spectacular seen close up. The clusters of 2.5cm (1in) white flowers are heavily spotted with purple and have a group of stigmas forming a solid cross protruding from the centre of each. This plant spreads slowly to form modest clumps in moist growing conditions elsewhere it is likely to struggle. It looks good growing among shrubs in dappled light but is also superb grown with hardy ferns.
