'Levante Wine Double' bears double flowers in a deep shade between red and purple, reminiscent of a good red wine. It flowers from March to May and grows about 50–70 cm tall. An elegant variety for beds and vases that combines well with light colours.

About this variety

Dark flowers look especially refined in spring. 'Levante Wine Double' shows a deep wine red with a purple sheen, and the double form gives each flower volume. The petals lie densely on top of each other, so the colour appears lighter or darker depending on the light.

With a height of about 50–70 cm, this variety can stand a little further back in the bed. It thrives in sun and partial shade in moist, loamy or sandy soil. Light partners such as white tulips, cream daffodils or silvery foliage make the dark red glow. In a large pot it looks very harmonious together with light pink ranunculus.

This colour is an asset in bouquets, as it gives any mix depth. Combine it with pink, cream or foliage. The open flowers are also visited by pollinators. From March to May there is plenty of time to cut a few stems again and again.

Planting

Soak the tubers in water for 3–4 hours. Plant them in spring, from March to May, about 5 cm deep with a spacing of 8–10 cm. A sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil is ideal.

Care

Water evenly without soaking the soil. A flower fertiliser every three weeks keeps the plant strong. Remove faded flowers regularly. Once the foliage has died back after flowering, cover the spot for winter with leaves or brushwood.
