    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Hardy bulb native to Uruguay, selected in Argentina by, indeed, Alberto Castillo, for its large flower size and pure white color. A hardy bulb, the foliage appears with the flowers in early spring, then fades in summer’s heat, returning in September. Naturalizes easily. Best in light shade in rich, light soil with at least occasional summer water where dry. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6 and possibly lower. Easily grown indoors.
