A hardy, tuberous, white flowered form originally collected by Cedric Basset and Marion Lennoz in the mountains of Honshu in Japan, at the foot of Mount Fuji. Produces green leaves with attractive, red-purple tinged undersides and pendulous, white flowers. The plant’s stems produce bulbils in the autumn, these fall to the ground to produce new plants. Comes into growth quite late in the season. Flowering July into autumn. Height 40 cm. Full to part shade in a sheltered position in moist, humus rich, well-drained soil with a winter mulch.
Sow upon receipt at twice the bulbil’s depth. Keep the pot in cool but frost free conditions over winter. Bulbils come into growth easily from spring onwards.
