Hyacinthoides aristides

A lovely dwarf species, excellent in a pot, bulb-frame or raised bed in a sunny spot, where its dwarf growths and large flowers can be appreciated.

The leaves are broad but short and make a perfect foil for the flowers which come in shades of powder blue, all with a deep blue ovary and anthers which are deeper still.

Gorgeous, and the last time we offered this it sold out within 5 days. Just a few, flowering sized bulbs this season, a very good offering, from a new stock traceable to an original I. Schneider collection made in oak forest near Yakouren in Algeria.
