Description

The Siberian Scilla 'Spring Beauty' is a bulbous plant that is very cold-resistant, as indicated by its name "siberica": from Siberia. With intense blue flowers, they are the first Scillas in spring! They arrive at the same time as crocuses and snowdrops.

 

This Siberian Scilla is a bulbous plant that bears 2 or 3 stems with 4 to 5 pendulous blue bell-shaped flowers, each measuring 3cm (1in). Its medium green foliage appears before the flowering, forming a tuft about 10cm (4in) wide.

Low-growing, it easily naturalizes in any fresh or moist soil that is well-drained and rich in humus, in a semi-shaded position. A light woodland is ideal. Easy to grow, you can use it to decorate rockeries, borders, pots, as well as the base of forsythias, all over the garden in between spaces occupied by deciduous perennials.

The Siberian Scilla 'Spring Beauty' perfectly harmonizes with the white Siberian Scilla 'Alba'.

Planting and care

Scilla siberica 'Spring Beauty' should be planted in early autumn, at a depth of 10cm (4in), spaced 6cm (2in) apart or in groups of 10 or 15. Leave the plants in place for several years to allow the bulbs to proliferate. Mulch during the summer to prevent the soil from drying out.
