It bloomed the year of delivery. Don't forget to place these bulbs in large pots to hope for flowering. Otherwise, the bulb will only multiply after the leaves appear.

Description

Similar to a giant mushroom, this bulb will delight your children. Plant it upon receipt in an 18 cm (7in) pot in a mixture of soil/compost, with the top of the bulb just buried, and place your pot in a bright location. Water sparingly and be patient. A huge red umbel will bloom in August, followed by a beautiful shiny green foliage. Do not overwater at this point, as your bulb would perish. This lovely plant then goes into a dormant period to bloom again the following year and gradually grows. In regions where frost is nonexistent, you can grow it directly in the ground, covering it with 10 cm (4in) of soil. Bulbs sold individually and in sets of 3.


Height 30cm (12in), flower diameter 18 cm (7in), flowering in late August. Size 20+. A funny mushroom!
