Charming in white|This one came to us as seed from 'Ruby Wedding'|We have several masterwort varieties in our gardens. The offspring of 'Hadspen Blood' have their own page here; others are the regular white-flowered variety, a few rose-colored varieties, and offspring of the 'Sunningdale Variegated' cultivar. The latter, in the picture on this page, are not quite as variegated as their mother, but have a bright cream-yellow-green coloring in early spring, which brightens up the spring borders as much as any flower.|Up close inspection shows the intricate construction of the flower |
