Ipheion ('Spring Starflower') are sweetly-scented star-shaped flowers. Great for planting in a rock garden, for pots, borders or for underplanting with Peonies or Hostas. Although they may start slowly the first year, they naturalize very well, and, once established, produce masses of quarter size flowers lasting up to four weeks in the garden. Do well in the South and in Texas.
