  A very stout and sturdy variety, which makes it ideal for coping with wind and rain. The well formed flowers appear in mid season a very light, creamy yellow and gradually fade to white as they age. Because it is relatively short, it is perfect for filling pots so you can enjoy them close up.
  
  
• 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.
