Mary Sue asked,

even come up until April and I was sure it was >a goner. It is a sweet
little thing. How long do I need to keep it growing and does it need summer
water?

I don't know whether it needs summer water, but it certainly tolerates it,
because all of mine are in places where they get a small amount of
irrigation in summer.

By the way, a couple of years ago I got seed from the Scottish Rock Garden
Club under the name Muscari conicum. I was quite pleased at how attractive
it was in flower this year and looked it up. Oops...it's an invalid synonym
of M. armeniacum. As they say, if dandelions were hard to grow, people
would think they were gorgeous.
