 | Flower colour: white (rarely yellow) |
| Flower diameter: 4.5 - 5cm |
| Height & Spread: very variable |
| Habit: very variable - prostrate to upright |
| Notes: an extremely variable species. Petals not crumpled. Buds nodding. Flowers borne singly or in twos or threes. Leaves petiolate, covered with stellate hairs. |
| Cultivars: 'Gold Star' - yellow stain at base of petals elongated into central "star". Collected by me. The name 'Prostratus' is applied to prostrate cultivars, which may not all be identical. 'Avalanche', introduced by Aberconwy Nurseries, is a vigorous, spreading cultivar, seen at its best when grown on the top of a retaining wall, down which it can cascade. 'May Snow' is a recently named floriferous cultivar. |
