Bulbous plant up to 60-90 cm in height, with leaflets 35-45 cm long and 1.5 to 3 cm wide, erect and light green. The flowers are large, scented blue. Perfumes and maintains the aroma of the plants around. The juice of the root can be used as a purgative.
Does not tolerate waterlogged soils.
Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
