this is a complete show stopper. Everyone that walked by wanting to know what it was. Deer didn't bother it Mine seemed to me to be a bit more purple than pink.

These are real eye-catchers in the garden. They are multi-purpose. They look like big splashes of exploding fireworks. Then, they dry beautifully if you simply leave them in the garden after they bloom. You can let them be items of interest as they roll around in the flower bed. Then, you can bring them in, tie tread around the stem, and hand them from the ceiling as mobiles! An amazing bulb. Lots of fun.

Fantastic, beautiful pink fireworks - Very striking and rather alien-looking. All the neighbors wanted to know what it was. Bloom develops seed pods averaging three seeds per pod. I will be testing these over the next year. This plant would make a great gift. Survived it's first winter (a harsh one) in -20 degree (max). I am a good gardener, but I believe almost anyone would have great success with this lovely curiosity.
Plant 1.5 - 2 feet apart minimum. The blooms are huge.
