Ipheion uniflorum, Triteleia uniflora 'Stars of Spring' - triteleia, brodaeia
APPEARANCE: Hardy spring flowering bulbous plant; star-shaped flowers in delicate blue, white and lavender shades like a miniature agapanthus.
USE FOR: Plant below deciduous trees or group closely in pots for bright spring flowering colour.
CLIMATE: Cool to sub-tropical; should come through a light overnight frost
CARE: Once planted, water the soil to set the bulb in place. An occasional light watering is all that's needed until the first flowers appear. Tolerates extended dry periods once established. Once flowering is finished leave plants to die back, it's not the prettiest sight but don't be tempted to trim the yellowing foliage. The nutrients are being drawn back into the bulbs for next year. When the bulbs die back completely remove spent foliage and leave in place for next season.
Contains 10 bulbs.
