The petals of this pretty cultivar are lilac-pink with a veined, white base. They appear in early summer on upright stems, which emerge from amongst the sword-shaped foliage. Try planting with other early summer flowers, such as Alliums, Centranthus or Geraniums. - Garden care: Plant shallowly with the upper part of the rhizome sitting on the surface of the soil, incorporating a low-nitrogen fertiliser in the planting hole. After planting remove the upper-most third of the leaves to minimise the incidence of wind rock. In exposed areas stake with bamboo canes in early spring.
