If you are in a colder climate bloom time is usually February or March. It is a native to Alpine climates and open woodland areas of central Europe. An evergreen in many areas and can handle the cold. For example in the St. Louis area, leaves remain evergreen in moderate winters, but may become a bit tattered in extremely cold winter areas where temperatures dip below zero, if foliage is not protected by snow cover. Flowers sometimes bloom in the snow and bloom can survive spurts of sub-zero temperatures. Flowers appear on a thick stem close to dark green foliage. The centers are often yellow and flowers flush with pink or white and yellow in center. Certainly a bright spot in the cold! Locate plants near a kitchen window, patio or walkway so that the winter bloom may be enjoyed to the fullest. Group in part shade locations under trees, large shrubs or in woodland gardens. May also be incorporated into naturalized areas where the clumps will slowly spread through self-seeding. Mass for an attractive year round ground cover. May take a long time to see the first flowers. Worth the wait!
