Can someone ID this for my M&D

They bought this from the Gateshead Flower show, but cannot remember what it is.
Can anyone ID it for my Mam and Dad please?
Thanks in advance,
Goldfinger.

At first I thought Datura/Brugmansia but the flowers are too open for that.
Is it hardy or does it come inside for the winter?

That was quick!
And that
is
it, they did leave it out over the winter, so it must be hardy.
Thanks all again,

Are you able to 'split' it in some way, to get more plants/bulbs/corms?

It splits really easily. My mum started out with a tiny piece and now has three large clumps.

Says 'split clumps after flowering'.
Didn't read that far........
Our parents are away for a few days now so can't ask them if theirs has stopped flowering, any idea when it'll be finished?
