Description
The Ipheion uniflorum or Spring Starflower is an adorable 15cm (6in) tall bulbous plant. It is appreciated for its creeping habit covered with small pale lavender blue star-shaped flowers in March.
Also known as Brodiaea milla or Tristagma, this Ipheion forms a basal clump of 20 to 25cm (8 to 10in) long linear, pale bluish-green leaves, resembling coarse grass.
From March to May, solitary star-shaped flowers in pale lavender blue with a darker middle vein, fading to white, measuring 2 to 4cm (1 to 2in) in diameter, emit a pleasant sweet scent, similar to honey.
The Ipheion uniflorum thrives in a well-drained, light, even slightly dry soil in sunny locations. Divide overcrowded clumps in September. Protect with a light mulch.
The Ipheion uniflorum can be planted in groups of at least 50 bulbs to create an interesting mass effect, or under deciduous bushes with spring flowering, accompanied by perennials or other bulbs such as crocuses or daffodils. It pairs well with Muscari Armeniacum.

Planting and care
The Ipheion uniflorum should be planted before the end of October, at a depth of 4 to 6 cm (2in), spaced 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4in) apart in a light and well-drained soil. It prefers a fairly warm exposure, under a bright but filtered light. Protect with a light mulch. Divide overcrowded clumps in September. They do not require any special maintenance. During their growth period, make sure to water them once or twice a week and apply liquid fertiliser once a month. During the dormancy period, leave them alone. Protect from slugs.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
