A relative newcomer, 'Pixie' is closely related to the ever-popular 'Harmony', but as the name suggests, its flowers are smaller than average. They're exquisite when planted in drifts to form a low swathe of early colour at the edge of a sunny border, but they also look wonderful in alpine beds or pots. - Garden care: Plant bulbs 5cm deep and 5-10cm apart, in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water moderately while they are actively growing and keep reasonably dry during their dormant period.
