Description
(Othocallis)
Originally found by Platon Otstavnoi in central European Russia this is a wonderful deep blue clone which has larger than normal, deep navy-blue to black anthers before these shed pollen, making it very different in appearance. The leaves are pale green below the 15 cm stem. Flowering begins in January and continues over a long period, until March, often with several scapes being borne on each bulb.
This is an excellent plant for naturalising as it will, if happy, flower and seed prolifically.
