According to legend, it grew from the heart of a Cossack during Yermak's conquest of Siberia. According to this same legend, the flower instills fortitude and courage in warriors.
Description: A perennial bulbous plant up to 80 cm tall. The leaves are dark green. The flowers are clustered in 2-5 in a loose inflorescence. They are relatively large, drooping, light purple, spotted, with upward-curved leaflets. The scent is spicy and sweet, intensifying in the evening. It blooms in June-July. The fruit is a hexagonal capsule. The seeds ripen in August.
Use: Decorative and used in folk medicine.
Growing conditions: Plant in moist, well-drained soil. A sunny or partially shaded location is preferred. For the winter, the planting site should be covered with sawdust or leaves.
Growing from seeds: Option 1: In open ground, in late October - November (when the soil has frozen slightly), plant the seeds to a depth of 2-3 cm. The planting site should be mulched with a layer of humus or peat (10-15 cm). Option 2: Before planting, treat the seeds with a fungicide (e.g., "Maxim" or "Vitaros"). At the end of winter, sow the seeds in shallow containers with loose, non-acidic soil (a mixture of peat, sand, and leaf mold) to a depth of about 5 mm. Then, place the container with the seeds in a refrigerator at a temperature of about 0°C (-1°C to +1°C) for 2-3 months. Then, move the container to a warmer location (+18-20°C) and wait for germination. The seedlings spend their first year in a container; by fall, they will develop a tiny bulb. Several times during the season, you can water the seedlings with a weak solution of complex mineral fertilizer. Once the bulbs have grown and strengthened (usually in the third or fourth year), they can be planted in their permanent location.
