Forbesii

The glory of the snow arrives before almost everything else in the garden, carpeting beds and grass with vivid cobalt blue star shaped flowers in April and May, a small flower with an enormous capacity for making winter feel temporary. Small and seemingly fragile, it is in fact one of the most robust and adaptable of all spring bulbs, spreading steadily and returning reliably each year with slightly more presence than before. Dutch grown and selected by BLOM for healthy, vigorous bulbs that naturalise well and reward every autumn planting with a spring full of clear, early colour.
