- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: May
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Bulb size: 11/12
Strong stems hold the gorgeous soft pink flowers above the grey-green foliage in late spring. A great option for the home florist as they last well when cut for the vase, and in the border, they will mix really well with richer pinks and plum, as well as most shades of violet and purple. - Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
