Description

Scilla peruviana, also known as the Portuguese Squill, is a striking late-spring bulb that produces broad rosettes of glossy green leaves followed by spectacular dome-shaped flower heads packed with dozens of star-like blue to violet blooms.

Native to the western Mediterranean, this bulb is ideal for sunny, sheltered locations such as rockeries, banks, dry borders, or gravel gardens. It thrives in well-drained soil and copes well with dry summers, making it particularly useful in climate-resilient or low-maintenance schemes. Works well in public planting, mixed borders, or Mediterranean-style landscaping.

Tip for Landscapers: For maximum visual impact, plant in groups of 5 or more and allow room for the foliage to mature naturally.
