I’m not sure if this name fits the plant but it was labelled this when I first got it and I can’t come up with anything better. It is an important late autumn note in the dry garden at Lambley where a small patch of bulbs helps carry the garden into winter. Each bulb sends up a leafy spike which carries a dozen or so large crimson flowers in a long succession. Easy in any sunny well drained spot and soon making good sized drifts. 80cm x 20cm.
