58 day
2017 AAS Winner! Fragrant plants produce very uniform, pure white, beautiful, 4 to 5" round bulbs with a much improved, almost sweet, licorice/anise flavor that are slower to bolt (7 to 10 days later) compared to similar varieties. Ornamental fronds produce seed and are a favorite food of pollinators -- particularly swallowtail caterpillars. Excellent in containers. Easy-to-grow. Annual.
