I have observed native colonies of the cristata varient that grows here for 
about 30 years in passing and closely for the last 11 years. I have never 
observed a "white" bloom among the several locations it inhabits or under garden 
culture.

Height here 8 to 12 inches in the wild. Twelve inches is more common under 
garden culture.
