Description

Scilla bifolia, or Alpine Squill, is an early, low growing plant with purply-blue, upward facing, star-shapedflowers, and two or three short, strappy glossy green leaves. The raceme bears 6 to 10 flowers. This hardy intensely coloured plant prefers direct sun, but can tolerate some shade and moist, but well drained soil in gardens, wildflower meadows, beds, borders, edging, rock gardens or underplanting of roses or shrubs. Plant en masse in woodland, wild or naturalized areas.
