Description

These lovely perennial plants, some of which grow spontaneously in the damp woods of the mountains, have abundant and often highly fragrant flowering.

Its common names are endless, but so is its flowering period. Its pure white double flowers follow one another for 2 months or more if you take care to cut the faded stalks as they appear, as it is not uncommon for it to bloom again at the end of the season.
