It is named after Athelstan Hall Cornish-Bowden a British born surveyor in South Africa who sent bulbs back to England in 1899. Flowering occurs late in the season (fall), mostly in shades of pink. It is very hardy in cold climates and is popular for cut flowers, its hardy nature is said to be a result of it growing in the Drakensberg mountains.
