| Perfect for |
Patio pots, rockeries, and the front of sunny borders |
| Light required |
Full sun to partial shade. A sheltered position helps protect the delicate, papery petals from strong winds. |
| Water |
Keep the soil consistently moist but highly well-drained during active growth. The tubers are very susceptible to rotting in cold, waterlogged soil during winter. |
| Hardiness |
Moderately hardy (H4). It can survive UK winters if planted in very free-draining soil, though container-grown plants benefit from being moved out of heavy winter rain. |
| Pollinators |
The wide, open flowers are highly accessible and attractive to early-season bees and other pollinating insects. |
| Toxicity |
Toxic to humans and pets if ingested. The sap may also cause mild skin irritation upon contact. |
| Flowering period |
Blooms consistently from mid-spring through to early summer. Regular deadheading will encourage further buds to develop. |
| Growth rate |
Moderate, maintaining a compact, low-growing habit that typically reaches a height and spread of 25-30cm. |
| Pot size tip |
Currently in a 11cm pot |
