Bellevalia

Dwarf spring flowering bulbs mostly from the Mediterranean region though they spread across Asia Minor as far as Afghanistan.

They make bulbs like small hyacinths with prostrate foliage which consists of 4-6 narrow leaves. These are present with the March and April flowers which are usually blue, purple, white or a combination of these, each bell, again like a small hyacinth being held on a short flower stalk.

Cultivation is in a well-drained, fertile, loam soil in a sunny spot, or in a pot under glass if you wish early flowering, they are however totally hardy here.
