Pretty medium blue-purple flowers. I would not call this blue by any stretch of the imagination. They are low-growing, only 3 inches tall, with nice deeply cut foliage. A. Blanda adds a daisy shape to the early spring landscape. Blooms with Tete a Tete daffodils, squill, hyacinths, species tulip, puschkinia.

Very easy to grow, I just plopped the bulbs in the ground and forgot about them until I saw a beautiful mound of purple-blue flowers. They came back nicely the second year. I hope for similar results next spring. They come in early and stay for a couple of weeks.
