'The Pearl' produces 2-5 flower stems per plant, with 20 or more double, rose-like, creamy white, flowers on a stem.

Lots of tubular, super fragrant, white blossoms with incredibly thick, waxy substance bloom on top of stems.

If the bulbs are planted in the spring, they bloom in late summer. However, where they can overwinter, they bloom in early summer and the flowers last an exceptionally long time.

Bulbs can be started indoors for early bloom. A Victorian favorite; used pre-1600s.
