About this plant
This is a showy, somewhat sophisticated variety which produces white-centred, magenta-red flowers in March and April. It makes quite a contrast with the fresh simplicity of the carpets of blue and white found in woodlands at that time and it won't be to everyone's taste.

Water during drought
Water plants in the ground regularly after a period of drought if still in growth (prefer to be dry when dormant). Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.

Summer - early · Outdoors
Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
