Description

A perennial tuberous geophyte prized for its elegant blooms in vivid colours; depending on the variety, it is well suited to adding a decorative touch – whether in combination with other species, in flowerbeds and borders, or in planters and pots.

It is a vigorous grower with a high degree of branching, which gives it a lush, full appearance. It prefers partial shade and well-drained soil.
