Its elegant, goblet-shaped blooms bring a cool, refined brightness to the garden at the very start of spring. Perfect for naturalising in lawns, borders, rockeries, and containers, ‘Ice Queen’ is a hardy and low-maintenance variety that reliably returns year after year, steadily forming graceful carpets of shimmering blooms.
