Description

In earliest spring, from a small, solid crown of buds, erupt twenty or so short, springy stems bearing pointed leaves, and bearing at their ends small bunches of dumpy blue bells. In good gritty organic soil this will improve over the years.

Sowing Advice

Seeds can be sown at any time but are best sown in winter or early spring to benefit from a cold spell in the wet compost to break their dormancy. We advise covering seeds very thinly with sand or fine grit to about the depth of the seed size. If the seeds do not come up within 6 to 12 weeks the damp seed tray can be given cold treatment in a fridge for about four weeks. They may still take very many months to appear, so please never discard the pot or tray.
