All gardeners of royal gentlemen had to plant emperor's crowns. The emperor's crown was considered a symbol of wealth. This was mainly due to the fact that the emperor's crown is difficult to propagate. From one thick bulb, you get 2 new bulbs, and the propagation is quite slow. In many Flemish floral works of the 17th century, it is the main flower of the canvas. Over the course of the next century, interest waned, and the plant could only be found in farm gardens. Thus, the emperor's crown is one of the characteristic plants from the old gardens.
