Description

This bulb plant reaches 6" tall and wide and it very reliable. In fact, it may considered invasive in some areas. Deciduous leaves are long, strap-like and arching. During spring, erect stems of tiny, grape-like clusters of blue flowers emerge. This plant does well in full sun with moist, well-draining, fertile soil. Attractive for English cottage gardens, containers, rock gardens or even as a ground cover. Remove/prune spent foliage.
