It grows from bulbs around 4 cm in diameter. The stalked (petiolate) leaves have blades (laminae) 20 cm long by 11 cm wide. The zygomorphic flowers are produced in an umbel on a 40 cm tall stem (scape) and are red in var. stricklandii, pink in var. montana. The stamens have prominent long filaments.[2]

In cultivation, plants should be kept warm and dry when the leaves wither, and watered only when the flowers or leaves begin to grow again, when a sunny position is required.[2]
