Tritonia blooms in June-July. Flowers in diameter reach 5 cm, the petals are painted in orange. In order to make the bush more beautiful, several bulbs can be planted in one pot.
The flowering period begins in the summer. At this time, long peduncles appear with a large number of buds that bloom one after another. Therefore, on the plant for several weeks there are blossoming flowers.
