General Description | It is classified as a D4 W - WYY (Double). |
Landscape | Massing and naturalization. |
Propagation | About every five years or as the number of blooms decrease lift clumps with a fork after the foliage has withered. Pull the bulbs apart and detach any offsets, replant bulbs three times their own depth (15 cm) and depending on plant size 3-10 cm apart. Plant bulbs in full sun to partial shade in autumn in clumps or large groups for best affect. Suited to naturalization in woodland gardens and turf. Interplant where dying bulb foliage may be hidden by later blooming perennials or if planted in turf let foliage yellow before mowing. |

Habitat | Horticultural origin. |
Flower Description | The petals are held in two whorls, they are cream-white and broadly oval. The trumpet is a short cluster in the centre of the bloom interspersed with light yellow petals. The flower width is up to 92 mm. |
