Bowl-shaped mauve-pink flowers, with a paler interior and a luminous, well-defined eye, appear in profusion from mid-spring. Compact in habit, they are ideally suited to pots or windowboxes, as well as filling gaps towards the front of the border. - Garden care: In November or December plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-5") deep in fertile, well-drained soil. or good quality potting compost if planting in pots. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month before allowing the foliage to naturally dieback or lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse. New growth will emerge in early spring.
