Michael's Opinion
An outstanding perennial ground cover that is seldom seen in production and rarely seen in gardens. Much looser and more colourful I think more interesting than the more widely available P. terminals. Of course it is easy to grow and carefree in its approach. Quite suitable for underplanting of species tulips and dwarf or species Narcissus, Crocus and Galanthus.
