I have had a few clumps of Chionodoxa sardensis for years in my garden. This fall I will be adding many more as I finally ordered Chionodoxa sardensis bulbs to add many more to my garden. I want to add them to the lawn at the edges of my shrub borders so that it looks like mother nature just planted them there.

'A sapphire-blue Turkish wildflower. Deeper blue and shorter than common glory-of-the-snow, it blooms at crocus time, naturalizes eagerly, and was awarded an RHS AGM' - Old House Gardens
