    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Richly fragrant and long-lived, 'Generaal de Wet' is a worthy scion of the legendary'Prince of Austria'. Although orange is not a traditional spring color, once you try few bulbs of 'De Wet' we think you'll agree that its sunny, fresh, juicy tones look right at home in the spring garden. Pair it with dark purple johnny-jump-ups outside and in a vase where you can enjoy its fragrance up close. Ahhhh! Single Early, 14", zones 3a-7b(8bWC)
