Notes
'Rolf Fiedler' spring starflower (Ipheion uniflorum 'Rolf Fiedler') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It blooms in early to late spring with fragrant flowers that attract bees. The plant stays 4 to 6 inches tall, so plant it near the front.
Pairs well with Johnny jump up, Japanese forest grass, and Green Velvet buxus.
