Double Mud has deep green leaves marbled with silver and bears double, creamy white flowers with slate blue-grey backs to each petal.

Flowers mainly March - May

Likes slightly damp but fairly well drained soils in sun or light shade.

Can be invasive, the named forms are less invasive but will cross and re-seed as well as produce ever spreading tubers.
