Beware of imitations! Our Texas-grown bulbs are the true heirloom that since colonial days has made itself at home in old gardens throughout the South and north through zone 6 at least. (We even have a customer growing them on the shores of Lake Superior.) With their distinctively lobed cups, our true Campernelles are early, fragrant, and full of the grace and staying-power of wildflowers. You'll have more and more every year!
