Rarely seen green leafed form of the famous "black grass" with beautiful milky white flowers in mid to late summer. Good evergreen groundcover, even in quite dry shade. 15cm.

Like many plants of course it would prefer better soil in shade but will survive in the dreaded dry shade if given a good start in life with some rotted muck or garden compost and extra watering during it's first summer.
