Additional Comments:

The commercially available clone appears to be triploid & sterile. Fertile diploid varieties are available through specialty mail-order nurseries. (D. Kramb, 17-SEP-04)

The triploid clone requires either very deep planting or else heavy feeding if the bulbs are to maintain themselves at flowering size. (Peter Taggart uk, 06-JAN-10)
