Care:

This plant prefers moist to well-drained soil. While it can tolerate some dryness, you will want to water it frequently.

This tiny plant responds well to deadheading once its blooms have faded. A final round of blooms can be maintained on the plant for self-seeding. Centaurium scilloides enjoys a fairly fertile soil. It likes sunshine. In fact, its flowers open wide only in sun. This is a fairly short-lived plant but one that will self-seed freely. It is not recommended for most indoor gardens. 

Description:

A very desirable member of the Gentian family, Carpet Tulips grow as small tufts of dark green, glossy leaves with many little tulip-shaped pink flowers featuring yellow eyes. This plant blooms from mid-summer to autumn. The flowers are carried on short but proud stems which grow above the low 2"-tall plants. This is a great choice for the Alpine garden and rocky areas.
