RARE BEAUTY!
The combination of colours will warm your garden! The leaves are green with a bronze sheen, the stems are dark chestnut brown and above the orange bells towers a deep bronze-coloured crown!
The sturdy stems have graceful whorls of glossy green leaves up to 2/3 of their length, and a cluster of large, bell-shaped flowers with a crest (crown) of bracts at the top. It is known for its deterrent effect on moles. Tip: because the bulb has a hollow at the top where rot can occur in very moist soil, we recommend planting the bulbs on their side.
