- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: April to May

- Bulb size: 11/12
Softly ruffled golden orange petals, which are infused with green and hints of sunset pink, form impressive flowers that start appearing towards the end of April. These are relatively long-lasting and look great when cut for the vase. Their colouring makes them very easy to mix with oranges and reds. - Garden care: From 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.
