Description

Chionodoxa sardensis is a low-growing, early-flowering bulb that delivers vivid cobalt-blue blooms with clean white centres in late winter to early spring. Native to Turkey’s mountainous regions, it thrives in well-drained soil and naturalises quickly in lawns, meadows, and beneath deciduous trees.

Landscapers and horticulturists value sardensis for its ability to provide early colour with minimal intervention. Its size makes it ideal for rockeries, gravel gardens, or underplanting in woodland-style beds. Once planted, it returns reliably each spring, multiplying steadily without becoming invasive.

Its early flowering time also supports pollinators emerging from dormancy, making it a key species in biodiversity-friendly bulb schemes.
