Description
Bright yellow, starry flowers emerge from dry ground each Autumn at around the same time as autumnal Sternbergia.
Up to four, deeply pleated leaves appear more or less at flowering time. The flowers in this species are scented, strongly so, and some find this strength too much for them. Others, it seems, cannot smell the flowers at all.
A native of clay or loam this likes a fertile well-drained soil and frost-free cultivation in good light, but it is not difficult.
