From this very large family of bulbs we offer a choice range suitable for growing on rockeries, raised beds or trough and alpine house. Generally all require a well drained soil in a sunny position.
Small compact glaucous grey-green leaves, from the centre of which arise lilac-pink flowers in profusion from mid April to early July, 7cm. An easy plant, plant the bulbs half beneath and half above the soil.
A marvelous foliage plant with a mass of large trifoliate grey felted leaves, which come up late summer and last through most of the winter. Yellow flowers occur in September, well drained soil full sun for trough or raised bed, naturally small bulbs.
