Description

Scilla siberica is one of the most dependable early blue bulbs for creating strong low level spring colour in lawns, woodland margins and naturalised planting. It is widely used by horticulturists, county councils and gardeners because it establishes well, performs reliably and creates a broad seasonal effect with relatively little ongoing maintenance. The clear blue flowers appear early and are especially valuable in orchards, tree circles and rough grass where a natural spring carpet is wanted. In Irish schemes it works very well as part of larger biodiversity focused planting where visual value and pollinator support are both required.
