(aka: Scilla cooperi) Cute, cute, cute! This easy-to-grow little South African bulb is a delightful addition to the rock garden. The narrow, olive-green, 4" tall leaves with dark purple markings are held upright in what eventually becomes a nice colony (1' spread in 5 years). In early spring, Ledebouria cooperi clumps are adorned with miniature, pink, scilla-like racemes.
