Description

The most exotic and glamorous plant you can imagine, and turn the black bells upside down to see the perfect huge dollops of nectar sitting at the heart of each one. These dark frits are often tricky, but not this one which flower fantastically year on year.

Care Tips

Choose a suitable location in a border that will get plenty of warm sunlight in summer, they love scorched and free-draining soil. After flowering has ended, wait until the leaves and stem turn yellow, after which it can be cut off at the base.
