Description
Dainty deep purple bell-like flowers nodding from delicate pedicels in racemes atop 100cm stems. Glaucous spears of narrow leaves fan up from its base. Native to the arid climates of Western Aisa, ‘Adiyaman’ is taller and more free-flowering. Unsurprising given its heritage, it loves to be planted in full sunlight in fertile well-drained soil. An unusual addition to flower beds and borders that holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Planting Notes
Planting Plant bulbs at least 30cm deep
Soil Type Well drained, light and moist soil
Plant bulbs from September through to mid-December. Plant large bulbs at least 30cm deep, spaced 10cm apart. Small bulbs can be planted 5cm deep and around 3-4cm apart. For best results, plant in beds and borders, or even in containers if it’s large enough and has holes for drainage. Deadhead regularly to encourage new growth, and leave to die back once they’ve finished flowering to allow the bulb to soak up all the energy from the sun.
