Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the cutest bulb plants to grow with lots of flat "center-less" flowers, 1" across and 6 petals each. Needs well drained soil. However, ours survived 7 °F in a spot that I wouldn't call well drained (water puddles close up to it in rain) without protection. In colder regions they can be grown easily in pots, which can be overwintered in a cool, dry room.

Tufts of narrow, hairy, lance-shaped leaves, 2-3" long that are nearly hidden by masses of 1" white, pink or rose-red flowers blooming over a long season. Tubers multiply quickly with good drainage and adequate water. Full sun and regular water. Completely dormant in winter.
