Miniature forms are available with stems under 2 feet long. Grown from corms, not bulbs. The first species as we know them today were introduced from Ghent, Belgium in 1841.
Flower forms: ruffled, fringed, orchid-like, tulip-like and rose-like.
Some cultivars are sensitive to fluoride found in water supplies, which can result in flower tip burn.
Shorter cultivars are available which has transformed this stereotypic funeral flower into a contemporary favorite.
