    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A subtly appealing Frit for the bulb enthusiast and one which does well in the garden (as opposed to fussing in containers or growing in bulb frames) This has up to 3 bell shaped flowers of a blend of olive-green and purplish-brown. Sun to part sun and decent drainage.

    By: Far Reaches Farm

    Bell shaped flowers up to 2" long of olive green and brown on 16" stems. Always a pleasure to get reacquainted with it in the spring. Native to Cyrus.
