Fully grown, this flower bulb reaches about 100 cm. Useful to know for the order in your border: low at the front, tall at the back.

We offer a 100% Bloom Guarantee. Send us a message and we will send you new bulbs, or refund you in full.
Cool, dry and dark, in the opened bag so they can breathe. Do plant them as soon as possible, because bulbs are not a storage product.
