Description
A hybrid that originates from D. ida-maia x D. multiflorum. It is pink with green. This is a great alternative for whom the red of the D. ida-maia is too fiery. Partly because of its frivolous growth habit, it can be beautifully combined with Geranium, Nepeta or Alchemilla.
BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF THEMIDACEAE/LILIACEAE
From the Greek: dichelos (two-wedge) and stemma (crown). This relates to the stamens of D. congestum, which are split into two parts halfway up. They require a sunny location with well-drained soil. Propagation is done from seed or by removing the young offsets in the autumn. These offsets will then bloom again after two to three years. They are long-lasting cut flowers.
