Luminous, upward-facing chalices glow in the spring garden. Tough and easy, California Bluebells, also called desert bluebells, laugh off the most inhospitable conditions like cold weather and drought. For the greatest impact, sow this heirloom in large numbers. Grow in spaces between paving stones, in rock gardens, and in the front of flower beds. Sow narrow strips of bluebells and violas between vegetable rows! These beautiful, little flowers will charm you, and are loved by native bees.

I thought they didn't sprout and was very disappointed, but one day I went to the garden and the seedlings I hadn't been able to identify were bursting with blue flowers! I would like to grow these every year!

Glowing blue

Loads of intensely blue flowers with bright white-tipped stamens and tidy foliage make this plant a favorite in my garden.

I love these!

5 out of 5 stars Dec 23, 2021
These were one of the first things I grew from seed besides zinnia and cosmos. They hold a very sentimental place and my heart and years later I'm coming back to grow them again. I love these so much and will grow them every year now that I have a proper garden. Beautiful, small and lovely.
