Sanguinaria canadensis 'Snow Cone'
A long awaited superior form selected from Sanguinaria canadensis ‘Tennessee Form’ seedlings. Each clean, white flower has 18 to 25 petals, and is 3+ inches across. A strong grower, it quickly forms a dense, prolifically flowered clump, spreading by thick, fleshy rhizomes, 2-6" per year. Blooms for a longer time than the fleeting native form. 5-5.5” tall in bloom, to 12”. It is fertile and produces seed. This clone also seems to holds its foliage longer than the other types before going dormant in summer. A true beacon of white in the early spring garden.
