Step by step

1. 1PlantingSmall but brave. Plant in clusters of 10+ for the best effect — and they do fine in grass.
2. 2GrowingCompletely self-sufficient. Handles snow and frost without trouble.
3. 3BloomingOne of the very first spring bloomers. Opens in the sun, closes in the evening.
4. 4After floweringLet the foliage die back in the grass or border. The bulbs multiply on their own.
