Description
Produces an 8-10" high mass of small, rather round, heart-shaped leaflets above which rise many 10" long spikes, carrying a flurry of small, white flowers, each with short, reflexed spurs with a hint of yellow in the center. New leaflets can be mottled with reddish-purple and are thin, reminiscent of parchment paper to the touch.
