Description
A splendid evergreen plant for the garden, in the UK anyway. It forms tight clumps of narrow leaves with stiff, upright stems bearing remarkably Iris-like flowers of bright yellow.
On closer examination of the flowering you can see that in fact each bulb makes one or two leaves and a flower stem, but the clumping nature tends to hide this. The flower stems can each bear several blooms which open, one after the other over a period of weeks, in Summer.
An established clump, in full flower, is a stunning site. To achieve this you need a few years, a touch of patience and a humus-rich soil in full sun with plenty of water when the plants are in growth. Late ripening. Propagated from a seed collection K&L.SA-90, however we do not know the collectors’ details or the associated wild data.
