Overview

Very showy, bright blue, trumpet-shaped flowers. Lax stems clothed in pointed leaves form a ground-hugging clump, which in autumn is studded with bright blue, trumpet-shaped flowers. These are attractively striped on their outer edges, and can be as large as 6cm, so when in full flower, the effect is very showy. Team up with the autumn-flowering crocus for a wonderful splash of late colour.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun to partial shade

Care guide

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
