Variegatum Group

Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):

5 to 9

Although Nakajima, in an English article, gives us only the rōmaji Shirayuki-no-mai, he tells us the meaning: "Dance of the White Snow." From this we can easily infer the kanji spelling 白雪の舞. Because "Shirayuki", white snow, represents in itself the Japanese concept of purity, it is left un-hyphenated here. (ED)
