    This is a relatively new variety with deep purple petals that have a fine, comb-like fringe around the edges. The flowers are quite long lasting, have sturdy stems and look great in 'bruised' coloured borders.

  • 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.
