Resembling miniature hyacinths, award-winning Scilla mischtschenkoana ‘Tubergeniana’ (White Squill) is the earliest to flower, generally in late winter or early spring. This remarkable bulbous perennial features charming racemes of up to 6 star-shaped, china-blue flowers, about 1 inch wide (2 cm), adorned with a dark stripe through each petal. The blooms last as long as 2 months, starting to flower with the snowdrops and crocus and remaining in perfect condition until the daffodils appear some weeks later. Although it is slow to increase, it is incredibly long-lived and very versatile. Perfect under shrubs and trees, at the front of borders or for the rock garden.

  • Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society
  • Grows up to 3-6 in. tall and wide (7-15 cm)
  • Thrives in full sun to part shade in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soils.
  • Tolerates a lot of shade and is beautiful when planted together with winter aconite and snowdrops.
  • Spectacular in groupings in borders, containers, underplanting of shrubs or rock gardens.
  • Deer resistant
  • Plant in fall
  • Propagate by seed, sown, when ripe, in containers in a cold frame or separate offsets when dormant
  • The whole plant is poisonous. Ingestion may cause severe discomfort. Wear gloves and wash hands after handling.
