Does anyone else grow this dwarf blue charmer?
I like it very much too, and posted a picture of it on the wiki recently. I
got mine the same place Jerry fif, from Michael Salmon's Monocot Nursery in
England. I don't think it would survive very well in a Pacific Northwest
winter in the open garden, though (like Jerry, I grow it under "glass").
These broad-leafed Mediterranean scillas that emerge in fall tend to freeze
and rot if they are very wet when a hard frost hits them.
