[Squirrel corn] Foliage is finely-divided and reaches only six to eight inches in height and spread. Blooms are like white heart-shaped lockets on a line as each bloom hangs individually from short stalks on the main succulent-looking brittle stem. Name comes from the small yellow tubers in clusters.
Transplant: Squirrel corn should be planted very shallow in soil high in leaf mold and rich humus in shade. Forms early-blooming colonies where it is happy. Certainly looks good with Primula veris in my garden.
"Gardening and my garden became an experience to share with others through the nursery and my career in garden writing." - Gene Bush
