Ipheion ‘Jessie’ (Spring Starflower) is a small bulbous perennial with sweetly scented, star-shaped, deep blue flowers, up to 1.5 in. (4 cm), adorned with a darker stripe on each petal. Blooming in mid to late spring, the dainty blooms rise atop a foliage of onion-scented, narrowly strap-shaped, light green leaves. Easy to grow, Spring Starflowers are best massed in sweeping drifts in lawns, planted under shrubs, along walks or paths, or in rockeries where these charming beauties can be easily admired. Regarded to be one of the easiest bulbs to grow. Plants go dormant by late spring.
