Comments

A description according to Michael Jefferson-Brown’s 1962 catalog: “This is another of Mr. Richardson’s exciting new red and whites from a most fruitful cross. We bought the stock of ‘Stromboli’, and it planted out well. The bulbs look good. The flowers are large and are well formed. The broad smooth petals make a beautiful snow white foil to the crater-crown of volcanic deep red. The solid red of the widely expanded crown and the white perianths make this a most striking example of the latest developments in large red and whites. Strong plant.”
