Description
An old form originally selected in Holland this has small flowers, but lots of them, with deep violet inners and strongly purple-feathered outers. The whole display of strongly honey-scented flowers graces Christmas and if grown in an alpine house pot you can bring them in for the day.
This can also become a spring-flowering plant if the bulbs are planted late in the season, extending its usefulness even further.
This became scarce some years ago but is slowly coming back, you may see the name elsewhere, we have the real plant!
