On long, straight stems each plant carries a spray of hanging bell flowers in cream and pink. They grow to about 80 to 100 centimetres tall and attract plenty of bees and butterflies while in flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XL bulbs are size 10\/12, one size larger than usual for this species. A bigger bulb has more reserves and therefore produces a stronger stem with more bells per flower cluster, right from the first year. Ideal for a large tub by the front door or the back of the border. With 40 bulbs you fill two large tubs or set out a few generous groups; with 80 bulbs you give a whole border structure. With 160 or 320 bulbs you plant a large bed or a long strip that can naturalise later; allow 15 to 25 bulbs per square metre.
