With the center part of the flower
resembling the cup or corona and six petals
surrounding it, this flower looks very much like
a daffodil blooming in the summer on leafless
stalks! Grown for its unique sculptural quality
that it brings to the outdoor or container garden,
as well as its marvelous fragrance, this 18"-24"
plant which is native to the Americas, blooms very
quickly after planting. The decorative 2" wide
leaves that appear after bloom are a lovely soft
lime-green. Some species occur naturally in grasslands
and rocky habitats and others in sub tropical
marshy areas. This pest-proof bulb is great for
the Evening Garden; blooms early-mid summer;
1-3 per sq. ft.; zones 8-10; has overwintered in
our zone 7 garden with
extra mulch. |
