This bulbous perennial will grow to about 18" tall and has large, dark green, strap-like leaves. After the foliage emerges in the fall, purplish blue flowers open in the spring. This plant goes completely deciduous after its bloom fades.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
