Nursery contributed plant descriptions

West Himalayan (Afghanistan, and northern India) and sub-alpine, these springtime, soft pink to buff-lavender trumpet flowers with recurved, narrowly spoon-shaped petals ascend a stout, one to two-foot stalk in spring. After flowering, the bulbs die and bulblets are produced that send up the next plants, reminiscent of a Cardiocrinum... though short and pink. Minimum temperature: 0 °F
