Chionodoxa Forbesii

£3.85£12.00

Description

Chionodoxa Forbesii.  Hardy, Clump forming. Perennial.  Needs well-drained soil in sun or light shade. These bulbs are becoming increasingly popular for spring flowering. The dainty blue starry shaped blooms appear during early March, and last for about 3-4 weeks.  They only grow to a height of 15-20 cm, which makes them perfect for naturalising in rockeries, or in the grassland as you would with crocus, snowdrops, bluebells and Daffodils.  The bulbs naturally increase each year, you can divide the clumps in May and replant.
