It has similar creamy white petals flushed with apple green, but they are also infused with warm flashes of red, which is similar to the old fashioned rembrandt types. It is a cracking combination. The flowers appear late in the season and are quite long lived, both in the garden as well as in a vase.Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
