Umbels of deep lilac, sweetly scented flowers are borne on long stems and make an excellent cut flower. It flowers from late summer (May) into early spring (September).
Plant in well-drained, compost rich soil in shade or sun. Leave these bulbs in the ground where they will readily multiply adding to the colourful display each year.
They attract tiny insects to the garden. Used medicinally.
