  These large, beautifully shaped flowers really look great when planted in bold clumps. The flowers emerge from somewhat twisted green buds (which have a charm all of their own) to reveal lots of green-flushed, creamy yellow coloured petals. Choose this one if you want early double flowers, which will help extend the bedding display.
  
  
• 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 dead-head 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.
