Propagation:

Division in spring.

Seed - seed has short viability so is best stored in a refrigeratior until it is sown.

Sown in September - November: 

Seed just covered and stored at 20°C (68°F) for 2-4 weeks, then it's best to store it outside until spring. Optimum germination temperature is 20°C (68°F) so it's best to move the seed inside in March.

Sown in January - March:

Seed is just covered and kept at 20°C (68°F) until germination. After germination lower tempseratures and plenty of light is needed so the seedlings wont become lanky. If the seed doesn't germinate it should be refrigerated for 4-6 weeks. 

Pretty woodland plant with large, white flowers. It is quite shade tolerant, but grows best in partial shade in well drained, moist soil. It self seeds a little when conditions are favorable.
