[Overview]
A bulbous perennial.
The bulb is egg-shaped.
3–6 leaves grow from the base; they are linear, about 30 cm long, and somewhat fleshy.
A raceme is produced at the tip of an upright flower stalk.
The inflorescence consists entirely of sterile, wisteria-pink flowers and looks feathery.
[Cultivation]
Propagate by dividing the bulbs.
It prefers a sunny, well-drained, somewhat sandy soil.
For potted plants, water thoroughly during the growing period once the soil has dried; for plants in the ground, rainfall is sufficient.
In spring and autumn, apply slow-release fertilizer placed on the soil.
White silky mold (southern blight) can occur.
