A bulb loved by Vita Sackville West for bringing inside in shallow bulb trays early in the year to have on her desk and dining room table – it flowers in February and is priceless for that. We plant lots of these to start off a long bulb flower succession. They're beautiful and successful in pots, at the front of borders, or in grass.
