    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    From South Africa comes this beautiful flowering bulb bearing extraordinary, large, rich, deep purple, goblet-shaped flowers with red centers outlined with a contrasting white band. Good drainage is important. After bloom, reduce water and when plants begin to yellow, let them go dry. Potted plants can be stored dry in their containers over Summer.
