    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Tecophilaea cyanocrocus is an exquisite bulb producing true royal blue flowers in early spring unlike almost anything else in the botanical world. Thin white stripes accentuate the base of each petal. During summer dormancy keep dry and cool. Protect in a frost-free environment over the winter. Worth every effort.
