COMMENTS:
Plant 4-inches deep and 3-inches aprt. A native
to the Iberian peninsula and extremely hardy and
very showy when in full bloom. The flowerheads, 2-
to 3-inches across, stand out erect from 1-inch
wide, light green, fleshy leaves. Will succeed in
average soil providing it is well-draining. Plant
the bulbs 3-inches part and 4-inches deep. The
leaves tend to flop untidily after blooming but I
cut mine off as soon as they begin to yellow
without causing harm, evidenced by an increasing
patch size. A. Moly is inexpensive and
multiplies well. |
