Plant description
A wonderful sight in late winter and early spring, these diminutive bulbs will add a warming splash of colour to border edges, gravel gardens, pots or windowboxes. Their flowers are a soft blend of yellows, with just a few splashes of lilac-blue. Tough and reliable, if planted in the right spot, they will come back year after year.
