This beauty is gradually gaining more recognition. The stem can grow up to 150 cm tall (usually 1m), with the top forming a cluster of deep purple bell-shaped flowers. Fresh, narrow, grey-green leaves adorn the stem up to the flowers.
Tip: Because the bulb has a hollow at the top where rot can occur in very moist soil, we advise planting the bulbs on their side.
