    A somewhat new, pink form of this always popular flowering bulb, with lightly fragrant and particularly large, star-shaped, bright pink flowers in late winter to early spring. Clumps of, grassy, blue-green leaves rise to only 4-5“, fitting anywhere in sun to part shade. Drought tolerant but appreciates some summer water. Particularly useful under the bright edges of shrubs where there is much root competition or anywhere spring pink is welcome. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
