Overview
Native to the dry, rocky mountain areas of Chile, Glory of the Sun thrives in any sunny spot with dry to well-draining soil. Cheerful, bi-colored pink flowers are grown on graceful stems with grass-like leaves. This heat-loving variety will need to be dug up and brought inside before frost, which makes it the perfect candidate for a container garden. The blooms are wonderfully fragrant and make for delightful summer bouquets. We love this rare, South American Wildflower and it fits nicely in the border of the garden bed or in window boxes.

It's not really new at all. But this stunning native of the Andes has recently gotten the attention of American gardeners. And no wonder! Look at the gorgeous bi-colored flowers, all growing quickly on strong stems from a simple bulb. This is one of the latest favorites of the Dutch bulb growers, and it's time to try it in your garden.
