Very early spring blooming flowers are white, and are quite large and showy also. They emerge through the snow in very early spring, grow to about 2' tall, and are composed of many smaller flowers in a round ball that is 8-9" wide. Leaves begin to emerge from the ground after the plant is already in bloom.
Fuki are said to like moist soil. We have found them to be very tolerant of many conditions! The largest patch we grow is in mostly with dry, sandy soil. In this location, they do need some water in the heat of the summer, or they will droop. If you have a moist area, or an area with rich, deep soil, they will likely need little to no watering. Leaves seem to get the largest in shady locations.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 60cm
Location: part sun, or sun if planted in a moist location
Hardiness zones: 4-8
