Popular native forage, but easy to establish in the garden setting if given semi shade and left alone. Seeds germinate late winter so no mulching or hoeing. Don’t eat the flowers (or else no seed) until the colony is big enough at which point all of the plant is edible and nutritious.
Below a one year old allotment colony established from 8 bulbs planted in the green. Seedlings germinating in the wood chip pathway. Happy days.
