Description
Every so often, something really special comes along – and we think that Nectaroscordium tripedale is this season’s jewel in the crown. Far more floriferous than it’s cousin siculum, the eye catching flowerheads of this variety are packed with a profusion of tumbling, pendulous bells. Rose-pink and white stripes on the petals give a candy cane effect – but the look is kept from being too saccharine, with a splash of vivid green in the centre and shapely pointed petals giving these flowers an injection of serious style!
Elegantly rising above the melee of your summer borders, at over a metre in height – these stately blooms will provide a perfect combination of sweet and striking, to charm the eye and draw admiring looks from any visitor to the garden.
Nectaroscordium tripedale is highly exclusive, and stocks are limited – so place your order now, to secure its appearance as the crowning glory of your early summer display!
