Calochortus hybrids 'Cupido'
- Product number: 704910.1
- Origin: North America
- Latin: Calochortus hybriden
Light lilac-pink on short stems of 30 cm length: the most compact in our assortment.
Subtle beauty... that's how you could describe this gem in the world of bulbs. On a slender stem (along with the grass-like foliage), 1-3 tulip-shaped flowers appear. Each flower has 3 petals, making the shape playful and charming; swaying in the wind, it looks like a cloud of butterflies! The flowering period is from May-July. As the bulbs are not entirely winter hardy, we supply them in spring. With good winter cover, there is a good chance of overwintering. Give them a sunny spot with low ground cover.
