Bulb with narrow grassy leaves and blue flowers shaped like flared-out bells. It is native to southern Europe, but may be hardy in Pennsylvania, if I provide well-drained conditions. Reportedly takes quite a number of years to reach blooming size from seed. We have just first-year seedlings (started 2011) for now.
