Burgundy Bluebell

This short flower grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its burgundy stem is very thin and straight, and the giant, lime green leaves are spear shaped with wavy edges. The leaves alternate on the stem from about halfway up, up to the flower head.

Around 50 tiny flowers grow along the length of the stem. The flowers are 3 cm (1.2 inches) wide, with solid blue petals decorated with crimson dots and a deep purple central disk. The flower head is largely flat with 25 tightly layered narrow petals. They are hardy.

It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like a damp log, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind.
