The green and silver-mottled round leaves make a nice foil to the flowers that range in color from deep pink to white. In NC, C. cilicium flowers from early October through December...just preceding C. coum. Our clumps have thrived for more than a decade under a large eucalyptus tree...dry in the summer.
