Scilla bifolia

Scilla bifolia spreads rapidly by seed, which ripens quite fast. It is
doing well in turf here, where the grass is not mown until mid to late
June to allow bulb foliage to ripen. The soil where it grows is not well
drained, but no doubt the thick grass takes up a lot of the rainwater.

I'll agree with James about Scilla bifolia. I've had it for years,
although only in blue, and adore it. I'm never expecting it and then
suddenly there it it is, and tiny is definitely the word for it. I've
used it in a number of troughs where it seems quite happy, and can be
observed closely.
They are tough, and tolerate a lot of rain as long as the soil is
reasonably well-drained, but seem drought-tolerant as well.
