Read detailed description :

Very floriferous, hardy, robust and resistant plant that is easy to grow in the garden. It has very decorative silky white flower buds in winter located at the end of the shoots. As well as a large amount of flowers in March-April, purple-pink on the outside and light pink to white on the inside. The flowers open up in a star-shape of 13 cm wide. Rather compact plant with a rounded crown. Beautiful yellow foliage in autumn. Introduced in France by Minier in 1973. Crossing between M. kobus and stellata 'Rosea'.
