Big, blousy blooms, which are a rich royal purple with bluish undertones, top stout stems, and look sublime when planted with softer lilacs - or most shades of pink. A relative of the ever-popular (single-flowered) 'Negrita' this double form is also a big hit. - 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 deadhead 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.
- Humans: Harmful if eaten; skin allergen; Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
