Description

Scilla peruviana is a bold and highly ornamental scilla with large domed heads packed with star shaped blue flowers, giving it a much stronger presence than the smaller naturalising types. It is especially suited to decorative borders, premium containers and high value spring planting where individual flower impact is more important than carpet effect. For horticulturists and estate gardeners it offers a more architectural spring bulb that can work as a focal point in mixed beds or sheltered borders. In Irish conditions it benefits from a warm well drained position and is best used in settings where its dramatic flower heads can be seen clearly and appreciated as part of a more curated planting scheme.
