Scilla mischtschenkoana
squill bulbs
Star-shaped, pale blue flowers, which have a darker stripe along the length of their petals, appear in late winter or early spring from narrow, strap-like foliage. Scilla mischtschenkoana is well-suited for woodland and rock gardens, border edges, and tree pits where they will naturalise quite happily to create a stunning blanket of colour.
How to care for Scilla mischtschenkoana:
Plant bulbs 8-10cm deep and 8-10cm apart in autumn, in clumps or naturalistic drifts where they can remain undisturbed for several years.
