Description
The Balkan windflower opens in March and April with shallow, daisy‑like star-shaped flowers in blue, white or pink, forming low, colorful cushions in the dappled shade of shrubs. Over time it becomes more wild and is one of the most cheerful companions of early bulb flowers.
Care instructions
Soak the knobby tubers in lukewarm water overnight before planting. Plant them in September or October about 5 cm deep in a humus‑rich, well‑draining soil in partial shade. Water during dry springs; thereafter the plant is low‑maintenance. Allow the foliage to die back, then it retreats into the tuber for the summer.
