One of the best loved of all the spring wild flowers. Pretty pale creamy-yellow flowers are borne from neat rosettes of leaves, over a long period, often starting soon after Christmas. Prefers a semi shaded site. An excellent plant for naturalising in grassland. Will self seed freely if left unattended. Height 15cm (6")
