Dating back to 1762, this multi-flowering heirloom has compact, 3″- to 4″-wide spheres with flat bottoms comprised of densely compacted white florets with green eyes (ovaries) and pale green midveins on the reverse. When it opens, before its full shape is developed, it looks like a glistening white muffin top studded with peridot gems. It is rabbit-, rodent- and deer-resistant, yet adored by bees, butterflies and helpful pollinators. It is terrific planted with Catmint nepeta. Bulb size: 12 cm/up. June/July. HZ: 4-7. Height: 18″ to 24″
