This Summer flowering herbaceous perennial bulb, will flower during August to October growing to up to 1m in height. This elegant white garden plant features a purple centre with slender grass like shaped leaves, which is great for cottage garden design or mixed border and use for cut flowers.

  • These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds, containers and garden borders or also in patio pots.

They will continue to grow each year with little maintenance and can be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.

  • If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.

    Plant these corms during the Spring in particular during February and June in fertile, well draining soil in full sun but can cope with partial shade. Can also be first planted in a greenhouse. These corms should be planted about 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart, with the slightly pointed end upwards and roots downwards. After planting, water well and keep bulbs moist, but avoid water logging the soil. They may need staking or netting to prevent them from blowing over. Inserting canes while planting helps avoid damaging the corms.
