Christophii is about a foot tall - maybe 14 inches. It seeds like mad after a couple of years. Sometimes in year two nothing appears to return. And then 2-3 years later you have a bunch. I started giving them away, I had so many. Just don't deadhead them. I never did. This started off as about six christophii. They didn't come back, so I bought three more. There must have been 100 of them in my yard. Just dig up the bulbs and transplant them. These other pics of them are from completely different places in my yard. Only one day apart!

I hope you didn't misunderstand. I LOVED atropurpureum, but it didn't return for me. I planted it three times because I loved it so much.

But that doesn't mean it won't return for you. And it is wonderful.
