Flowering Season
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Densely-packed short spikes of fragrant deep-blue/purple bell-shaped flowers in spring.
Planting Bulbs
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Divide a cluster of established plants and carefully separate the bulbs. They should come apart easily and there will likely be lots of offset bulbs to collect. Plant them where you wish, and they should start spreading from their new spots, giving even more of the pretty little plants next season.
Propagation by seed
From Mid Summer TO Late Summer
Save seeds in mid-summer and sow from late summer. Sow seed under glass. Plant seedlings out in nursery rows after a year.
