Topping sturdy and relatively stout stems, the soft butter yellow flowers, which have a stronger yellow flush towards the outer edges of their petals, have a flame-like quality that seems to light up the spring bedding scheme. 'Sunny Prince' is ideal for hot-themed borders as it will mix easily with most shades of orange and red - and it also does well in patio pots. - 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.
