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. - Garden care: Plant bulbs 5cm deep and 5 - 10cm apart in the autumn, in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water moderately while they are actively growing and keep reasonably dry during their dormant period.
