    This dwarf cultivar is sold by a few conventional and mail order nurseries, such as Midwest groundcovers in St Charles, IL. It began as a sport branch from 'Minnesota Snowflake' from the large Bailey Nursery in southern Minnesota. It produces a lot of white double fragrant flowers and has dark green foliage. I occasionally see it grown by homeowners who are enthusiastic about gardening.
