I started out maybe 10 years ago with a hand full of bulbs and now I have four nice sized clumps and have given away some to a few friends. a great plant for the spring border mine is blooming now on may 20th here in NE. mine are in full sun in good rich soil . we have had a cool spring this year so they have lasted well, some years they come and go to quickly and are a little untidy afterwards but I think they are worth the space .

Have had three from the local farm store for about four years. They are in moist sandy loam part sun. Have been getting overgrown by a bush so I dug them up today. Each bulb has grown one full sized offset and about four smaller offsets. They seems to be doing well for no added fertilizer. I'm hoping to get a nice group of blooms from the new planting next year. Pretty blue, don't think they lasted very long, and flopped.

Very beautiful. I have it growing in dappled shade, and it really doesn't seem to mind at all. The color is out of this world, and the gold stamens against the shade of bluish purple this puts out looks truly extraordinary. Great plant.

Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Does best in full sun. Prefers a moist, fertile, acidic, somewhat heavy soil where plants can remain undisturbed for years. Needs additional moisture during spring growth and bloom (medium wet to wet), but will tolerate drier conditions thereafter. Plant bulbs in fall.
