These bulbs arc especially useful as they can be 
grown in flats or in the field and shifted into pots 
or baskets when in full bloom. All of them do well 
out of doors in milder climates and are showy in 
beds, borders, and rock gardens and all are easily 
grown under glass. Culture similar to freesias. 
Large flowered forms have been hybridized. They 
have from one to two dozen generally pendulous, 
fire-cracker-like flowers, three-quarters to one inch 
in length on stems 6 to 9 inches and bloom from 
late November to February depending on the time 
of planting and the variety. 
Small flowered forms have not been hybridized. 
The flowers are small and loosely borne in a taper¬ 
ing spike 8 to 12 inches high, and do not droop. 
Stamens and style in some varieties extend beyond 
the mouth of the flower.
