    An unusual, late-spring flowering bulb which produces spikes of up to 20 funnel-shaped, paler pink to magenta flowers. It looks stunning planted in groups among shrubs, where it will spread freely, or for providing vivid vertical accents among silver-leaved plants. The exotic-looking flowers also make lovely cut flowers.
