Desert Bluebells

Unfortunately, it didn't sprout.

These lovely little flowers are a show stopper in my wild garden patch. The seed packet I purchased sprouted and promised to give wonderful results. But alas, they were eaten up by mice. They left a few that were hidden between rocks. Now I have purchased more blue bell seeds and will sow later in the fall when the mice are more likely to be underground.
So it goes in the wild garden.

In a front yard full of native wildflowers this rainy spring, the bluebells are the standout. They offer a brilliant contrast to the predominant yellow of many desert flowers. They are not just blue, they are BLUE, an intense blue. When backlit by the sun they look as though they are blue lights. Each plant produces abundant flowers that last for days. As a bonus, the plant before flowering is very handsome, graceful purplish stalks supporting almost succulent leaves, deep green edged with purple. You won’t accidentally pull these, mistaking them for weeds. (I sometimes tragically mistake Arizona poppy plants for their evil goat-head cousins.)

They are the bluest blue and so easy to grow. Just scatter and wait for winter or spring rain.

A bonus is that they completely reseed themselves and the bees love them.

I have about 20 plants coming up in my yard right now. I can’t wait. Desert Bluebells are so beautiful! I highly recommend.

I cannot review because i just put them out
