A collection of late spring to early summer flowers, appearing early in the season. Absolutely packed with petals, wrapping around themselves with a range of shades, opening from tight buds, but remaining compact. Hardy, easy to grow, and particularly good in patio pots. Each bulb produces many flowers, held high on strong stems above fern-like foliage. In the very first season, you'll see three to five flowers per stem, then more and more in years to come. Snip and include them in your indoor vase displays, where they'll last for up to two weeks. Supplied as a set of 50 mixed bulbs, ready to grow on and plant out.
