    Deepest, darkest glowing blue of the whole genus! Jessie is lusted after by all who see it...4-6” tall grassy foliage emerges in winter and stays till summer; blooms a good 8 weeks mid to late spring in full sun to light shade, most soils with decent drainage, no irrigation required. Deer and rabbit resistant, naturalizes. USDA Z5

    Ipheion 'Jessie' is the darkest blue of the starflowers with sky blue to mid blue petals with a central royal blue stripe and sweet fragrance. Ipheion are South American bulbs that are long-blooming. 'Jessie' can bloom for up to 8 weeks and thrive from part shade situations into sun. The foliage, if rubbed or crushed, smells of onions. Good for naturalizing and deer resistant.

    South American but surprisingly hardy growing in temperate Argentina, this has been a Brodia and Tritelia at one time or another the confusion dates to antequity, the starry 4cm flowers open when the sun shines. Jessie is the darkest blue of any Ipheion
