Weldenia candida

Weldenia candida is a species of flowering plant which grows natively in Mexico and Guatemala.

This herbaceous perennial has broad green, strap-shaped leaves growing in a rosette. The central, three-petalled, bright white flowers are borne over a long period in late spring and summer. Hardy down to −5 °C (23 °F), in temperate zones it prefers mild sheltered locations in full sun, with neutral or acid well-drained soil. It requires dry conditions over winter, so is best grown in an alpine house or similar, where protection can be provided.
