Atop curving stems, fragrant
white star-like flowers bloom for two months, starting in late
summer or early fall.
The flowers are about 4 inches wide and have red or brown throats.
Plant them where you can enjoy their fragrance.
Care
Remove spent flowers to prolong bloom. In zones 6 and colder,
dig up corms in fall and store between 60 and 70 degrees F. In
Zone 7, mulch in winter.
Planting
Plant in full sun in deeply-loosened, well-drained, moist soil,
in holes 4 to 6 inches deep spaced 6 inches apart.
Choose a site protected from
wind. In Zone 7 and warmer, plant after the last frost. In Zone
6 and colder, plant indoors a month before the average date of
the last frost.
