Hardy bulb. 20-25 cms height. Full sun for strong stems and best flower production. Fragrant coloured flowers. Flower stems carry a succession of opening flowers. Flowers make a good long lasting cut flower. Grow in a well drained soil. A great bulb for naturalising, and looks great planted en mass. Can be left undisturbed in the ground, no need to lift out each year. Needs to be kept fairly dry when dormant, but water as needed throughout the growing season. Will grow well in pots. When planting bulbs plant them pointy end up, to a depth of about 5cms. Bulbs will self multiply.
