This dainty little wildflower is one of our most charming. In spring and early summer, the abundant, tiny, light blue flowers carpet the ground brightening up a meadow, shady lawn, or woodland. The flowers grow out of small clumps and can be tucked between stepping stones, along the edge of a path, in old stumps, or in the space between the grass in thin lawns.

These seeds do not need a winter or cold period to germinate. Sow outdoors in pots November through April. This species is challenging to grow, and a great species for more experienced seed-sowers.
