    Time to ‘fess up. We mistakenly sold this rarity one year as ‘Orangeade’ so if you got this please change the label. The upside is that this is an equally fine plant quite similar in appearance and one that noted bulb afficionado John Flintoff waxes eloquently over its elegance in the garden. Tall stems to 40” with late summer arching and branched panicles of narrow petaled beautifully presented flowers.
