Dear Rodger, In our area (fairly close the place of origin of the species) Scilla peruviana flowers reliably every year in the ground (lime soil) However, in pots flowering dimishes to zero over the years. We also grow the alba form, a light pale bleu and a creamy yellow forms. All do just as well and flower as easily, as the orignal bleu form. You can see the pictures in our website. Greetings from France (where a most unusual drought continues) Lauw de Jager http://www.bulbargence.com/ South of France (zone 8 Olivier) Coord.
