Large blooms brighten dreary winter days
Specially bred for its blooms to open a relatively fast 4–6 weeks after potting, Dasher certainly earns its descriptive name. When forced indoors, it produces numerous charming blooms on multiple, 35–45 cm scapes, flowering at just the right time to contribute to the holiday cheer. The large, slightly reflexed flowers are white with a delightful overlay of blush pink. Whether you get it for yourself or for someone else as a living gift, it creates the perfect pick-me-up long after the outdoor gardens go dormant. With proper care of the bulb, Dasher can be grown year after year. Ships as a 26–28 cm bulb.
