I'm looking for a blue flower that flowers around april.

Are there any flowers that flower around april that are blue in colour? If so what are they?
You do not say what zone you are so this is just a general early spring suggestion.


Omphalodes cappadocica (navelwort): Cultivars include 'Cherry Ingram' (large, deep-blue flowers), 'Starry Eyes' (deep blue flowers outlined in pinkish white); well-drained, even moisture, light shade; April-June; The flowers stand above the leaves and are very blue.http://plants.thompson-morgan.com/produc...





Pulmonaria or lungwort is a very early bloomer with soft blue to pink blossoms. 'E.B. Anderson' or 'Blue Ensign' has some of the darkest flowers; moist but well-drained soils; partial shade, shade, but never full sun; The plant has silver specked leaves.

Here are a few you could try.Primroses,Primula,andPansy, Anemones,of course the others from other reponses,If you are using it in a container more options ,inside ,african violet,I have just seen one with a plus ,leaves tipped in pink and white,agapanthus,outside how about? Blue Parrot tulip or a miniture lilac. Good Planting'
Reply:I think violets flower in April they are very delicate and bloom for a long time especially wild one's, hope this helps if not ask at your local garden centre
Reply:campanulla,i think thats the right way to spell it,cause of it being so mild it flowers all year round,its a low lying flower that i put on my rockerry with green foiliage,also try violas n pansys ,mine are still flowering from last year,gud luck
