Upward-facing blooms in a wide range of vivid colors. Easy to grow and brilliant in the summer border.
Fatal to cats. Every part is dangerous, including the pollen and the water in the vase, and a cat that brushes past a stem and grooms itself can suffer fatal kidney failure. Do not bring these into a home with cats, and treat any exposure as an emergency.
The bulbs are mildly poisonous if eaten.
For gardeners who like to stay ahead.
