The Blooming Garden 
What a lovely pure white.
It is, I love the white flowers against the apple green foliage.
You do have an amazing number of very interesting plants Liz! How do you also manage to have a garden that feels beautifully relaxed and coherent?.
Thank you Christina, I grow this in a pot in the greenhouse. It is quite fragile. It is hardy and people do grow it outside, but I would be worried about damaging its new shoots when weeding.
Beautiful!
It is indeed a lovely plant Anca.
What a beauty. One to cherish.
Indeed, it is very special. You don’ t often see it for sale.
Is this by any chance from Crug ? I’m going there in a few weeks time and this is on my long long list… 🙂
Oh lucky you going to Crug, Sue. No I didn’ t get it from Crug, I grew it from seed. It flowers in the second or third year from seed. I had one or 2 failures when I first tried because the seedlings are so delicate and don’ t like being transplanted. Best to leave them in the pot, then divide them up in the second year, when the little tubers are dormant.
If it sets seeds I will send you some if you would like to try it.
Can never have enough white-flowering plants. This one is totally new to me. What a beautiful bloom.
It is lovely, I love all the Codonopsis but this is the only one I grow, I love the pure white.
Simply stunning!
It is gorgeous, I love it.
Lovely. xx
I know you like white flowers and so do I. This one is special.
That’s new to me – lovely. Very pretty. I’m going to look up other Codonopsis now!
They are all lovely but I particularly like this snow white one.
Gorgeous flower – tell us more!
You don’ t see it in nurseries very often because it grows quickly and gets tangled up with other things if you are not careful. It is very fragile. You can probably find seed for it. It is a tuberous plant which dies down completely in winter. It think it is best to grow it in a lot and then you can keep an eye on it. It is hardy though.
If it is very fragile then it will probably not do well in my garden. Beautiful, though.
It’s very pretty – and not a plant I’ve ever seen here.
You rarely see it in nurseries, you have to grow it from seed.
I also grow C. Tangshen same as you I keep it in a pot for fear of losing it. This does sometimes flower from first year seedlings. I will also have seed of this if you haven’t got it…mine is probably 10 years old now. My Crug list gets longer, but you never know what might be available by August.
Tangshen looks lovely too. Shall we swap seeds?
A beautiful pure white!
It is gorgeous; a pristine flower with nice round buds.
Oh my……that is simply gorgeous!xxx
Would you like to try some seeds Dina?
Good title. Beautiful flower and photo!
Thank you Beth, it is a very photogenic plant.
stunning! I think white is my favourite plant colour for its simplicity and elegance.
So pretty. I am really appreciating white flowers for offering at least a visual relief for the heat.
I’ve never heard of this plant but it’s a beauty. Is it a vine?
