Long flowering I provide a colourful display with magnificent blooms through spring and summer.
I will perform at my best in full sun or slightly shaded position with a well-drained soil. I dislike damp or constantly wet soils.
I die off during the winter but will regrow from my tubers when the weather warms in the spring.
My round blooms come in a whole rainbow of colours and vary in size from about 50mmm to a huge 200mm.
I am just as happy growing in a pot as I am garden planted.
In damper soils I benefit from having my bulbs lifted and stored while I am dormant and replanted at the beginning of spring.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My flashy generous blooms bring colour to the garden making me a great accent plant

Tips for success
I die back in the winter and regrow in spring. A tip prune in spring will encourage a bushy form
Plant at least 0.2m apart.
Choose a full sun to partly shaded position.
Once established, check soil moisture and water during extended dry periods.
Choose whether you are planting in the garden or a pot to receive guidance built from this plant's light, water, habit and use information.
