Caeruleum

Caeruleum, Blue Garlic. A handsome and desirable kind with compact 4cm diameter heads of soft true blue flowers in late spring and early summer.

The whole centre of the flower is filled with a rosette of petals, beautifully neat and regular, looking like a large gardenia. The blooms sometimes measure 15cm across and one stem carries several of them. An abundance of flowers that occasionally does require staking. When given warmth and sunshine it flowers very quickly: six weeks or less after planting . Height 50cm.
