Perennial, Bulb

Flowers are numerous, royal blue with a thin white rim on each bell, urceolate, fragrant, and nodding in dense racemes. The perianth fused most of the length, lobes are minute, paler, or white. Sterile flowers usually appear on the upper part of the raceme and are few in number, smaller, and paler. Flowers bloom in mid-spring (April/May). Inflorescence is a crowded, scapose raceme, 1-3" in length, and is cone-shaped with buds in the spring. Some cultivars exist with pink flowers.

This plant produces 3-lobed capsules that are green to brown in color. In fruit, the capsules are scattered on the inflorescence axis.
