Ipheion Uniflorum Wisley Blue
M5553
Large, open-faced flowers of lilac-blue are produced in abundance on Ipheion ‘Uniflorum Wisley Blue.’ The petals are marked with a central violet-blue vein leading towards a flower centre which is rich in pollen and nectar.
Known as the Spring Starflower, this delicate gem is perfect for studding the front of a border with colour and introducing a soft, whimsical look. Useful for adding interest in May and June when sometimes gaps between spring and summer plants can be evident.
Dancing stems reach just 15cm tall, so plant Ipheion where the pretty, scented flowers will be seen and appreciated. Suits rockeries and container planting for a cloud-like drift of gentle colour.
Uniflorum Wisley Blue has been granted an Award of Garden Merit for excellent plant health, beauty and reliability.

Plant in a sheltered spot, in partial shade in well-drained soil, 2-5cm (1-2”) deep, 7-10cm (3-4”) apart. Only a few blooms in the first year, but after a few years will flower profusely.
