On slender upright stems loose clusters of up to 30 purplish pink flowers appear in summer. Each individual flower has a long stem so they form graceful chandelier-like heads above the slender strap-shaped foliage. Vigorous and easy to grow they are particularly effective in meadows or other naturalised planting schemes where they can be allowed to form large clumps.

• Garden care: Plant bulbs 5 - 10cm deep and approximately 5 - 10cm apart. Avoid excessive mositure from late summer when they are dormant and split and divide large clumps in autumn or spring.
