Description
(Tractema)
This is capable of carpeting the ground with attractive foliage and flowers, yet it is never invasive.
It makes strap-shaped, prostrate foliage below spikes of pure blue flowers on 25 cm stems, in April/May. By late July the whole plant has died back to a lily-like, scaled bulb (hence its name) and there it stays until the following March when its fresh green foliage suddenly appears again.
Well mannered and very useful in the right spot where it can be given light, leafy half shade. Very hardy.
