Spring Starflower (Ipheion uniflorum): Charming Blue Star Carpets

Spring Starflower (Ipheion uniflorum) is a delightful, low-growing bulb that forms carpets of sweetly fragrant, star-shaped, pale blue (sometimes white or pink) flowers in early to mid-spring. Its narrow, onion-scented foliage emerges in fall. Extremely easy to grow and long-lived, it naturalizes readily in lawns, rock gardens, and under deciduous trees. A heirloom favorite.
