Garden origin

This attractive, early-flowering perennial will help liven up the woodland floor in spring. Flowers turn from pink to blue and are a valuable early nectar source for honey bees. It forms a good-sized clump of silvery foliage, which may be retained during milder winters. Lift and divide large clumps every three to five years after flowering or in autumn.
Grow in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in part shade/shade.
