    This single late bulb truly lives up to its name as it really is a beauty. It has pinkish-blue goblet shaped flowers that are ideal for beds and borders as well as pots. Mix them with cool pinks purples and creamy whites for a dreamy pastel combination. They also make good cut flowers.

  • 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.
