Ipheion uniflorum 'Greystone' (Greystone Starflower)

Sun to Part SunZone: 6b-9, at least 8" tall Origin: Argentina, S. America

Open House/Web-Only! This selection of Ipheion uniflorum comes from the garden of NC's Norman Beal, who selected it for its large pure white flowers. For us, the clumps of waxy grey-green foliage are topped in March and early April (NC) with stalks of white flowers that obscure the foliage. By late May, the clumps are dormant for the summer months. We recommend dividing the clumps every 3-5 years and either sharing with your neighbors or starting a nursery...just kidding. A horticultural circumcision in late spring, a la Lorena Bobbitt, will prevent unwanted offspring. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
