It has irregularly shaped, long, finger-like tubers and linear leaves. Grown for its solitary, iris-like, fragrant flowers borne in spring, H. tuberosus will thrive in a dry, sunny, mixed or herbaceous border, and is good for naturalizing in grass. It is also suitable for the base of a warm, sunny wall, or as an early-flowering container plant. In frost-prone areas, grow in an alpine house or bulb frame to protect the early flowers.
