  The outer edge of each petal is slightly paler than the rest, but overall the colour is as intense and rich as you can get. It makes a big impact to a spring bedding scheme or seasonal planter, and it looks great when underplanted with low-growing spring flowers like Anemone blanda (especially the blue ones), or teamed teamed up with deep plum coloured tulips.
  
  
• Garden care: Using gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) deep and 15cm (6in) apart in early or mid-autumn.
