About This Plant

Pale blue, star-shaped flowers cluster on this mounding plant, similar to a hyacinth. Lime green leaves emerge with the plant in early spring and then darken throughout the season and turn yellow in the autumn. Full sun and moist soils will yield the best blooms, and it's particularly attractive when planted en masse.
