Deeply cut foliage foliage forms a loose mound, which in spring is crowned with petal-packed flowers, each with a distinctive blue eye. An easy to grow shade-lover, it's perfect for borders, pots or woodland settings where it will kick the growing season off with a splash of colour.
Plant rhizomes horizontally 5–8cm (2–3in) deep in September or October, ideally in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. Choose a spot in partial or light shade, such as under deciduous trees, where they can form naturalistic drifts.
Once established, they need little maintenance—avoid disturbance and allow the foliage to die back naturally. Keep the soil moist in spring during active growth, but dry in summer dormancy. Don’t feed, as they thrive in low-nutrient conditions.
