Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.
Description
This star-like violet-blue flower with a strong fragrance blooms in late April and May.
It is also suitable for a rock garden.
How to grow
Ipheion: Is a bulbous plant suitable for a sunny rock garden or the front of a border. The leaves are strap-like (15 cm), and it flowers with star-shaped blooms at the top of each stem.
The scent of the flowers is pleasant, but crushed leaves smell of garlic. In the first year the plant may disappoint you, but after a few years it will form a large, freely flowering clump.
Cultivation: : Ipheion is easy to grow and thrives in sun and even light shade. Choose soil that does not become waterlogged, so the bulbs do not rot.
For maximum flowering, add a specialised fertiliser for flowering bulbous plants once a month. After flowering, remove the faded flowers to encourage new ones to form.
The plants are not lifted in autumn, but left to spread into a large, freely flowering clump. Flowering is April-May.
Propagation: : Lift and divide the clumps in autumn every few years. Replant immediately.
