Bulbs
Hybrid group of perennial, bulbous plants, producing densely-packed spherical heads of star-shaped flowers, in shades of pink, purple or white, on straight stems to 70cm tall in May and June, above short-lived, mid-green leaves. The foliage is often wilting and turning brown when the flowers appear, and for best visual effect, the bulbs should be sited so that adjacent plants can grow to conceal the leaves as they die back. The flowers are extremely attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, making the plant a wonderful addition to a wildlife garden.
