Producing a rosette of bright green, arching, lance-shaped leaves, ‘Nani’ has pale green upright stems which carry spires of pale, dusky pink, star-shaped flowers, topped with a cluster of pale green, leaf-like tufts, reminiscent of a pineapple. A wonderfully exotic-looking, bulbous perennial best suited to pots. - Garden care: Plant bulbs 12cm deep as soon as possible, allowing 20cm between each. In colder areas, provide some protection until the worst of the frosts have passed. Water freely during the growing season and sparingly during winter. Protect the crown of the plant with a dry winter mulch or overwinter indoors under glass. Top dress or repot container-grown specimens each spring.
- Humans/Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
