Pleione formosana

Pleione formosana3 large, mature bare root bulbs of Pleione formosana. Lab raised from seed, bred from our finest examples. Ready to be potted and will flower in 6 8 weeks! I will ship these with a detailed care sheet. The plants die back to the ground in late fall and need a dry, cold rest for a couple of months.
