Nursery contributed plant descriptions

You've never seen anything like this ghostly & graceful lavender lily from the Himalayas! Blooming in the Summer, it grows from 2-4' in height, very narrow, with 1-2" bells in subtle shades of grey-purple. Sophisticated & surreal, it's fascinating garden subject. Demure but striking, oddly colored, unusual in form: yes, please! Good drainage is essential for maximum life & performance potential, as well as adequately rich, moist soil. Seems to thrive best in a bright but partially shaded exposure. Each bulb is monocarpic, but will create offsets before it dies. Winter deciduous.
