Scilla - Mix of colours - Early Spring Blooms - Bulbs - Large Pack - 100 pcs

Scilla is a quietly impressive addition to spring gardens, transforming borders with clusters of pastel blooms at a time when most plants are only just beginning to stir. This perennial bulb forms dense, low-growing clumps, reaching 20-30 cm, and spreads steadily to create a colourful carpet. The mixed colours in this pack provide a gentle blend of blues, purples, pinks and whites, brightening borders and underplanting spaces in early spring. With its resilience and low maintenance needs, Scilla suits a range of garden settings and is valued for its ability to bring early life and subtle colour to outdoor spaces.

Planting Time

Plant Scilla bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to develop strong roots before winter, ensuring healthy growth and a reliable display of flowers in spring. Autumn planting is essential for establishing perennial bulbs that return each year.

Planting Depth

Set bulbs at a depth of 6-8 cm. This protects them from frost and provides the right conditions for root development. Choose well-drained, light soil to prevent excess moisture, which helps maintain bulb health.

Spacing

Allow around 10 cm between each bulb. This spacing ensures that plants have enough room to develop and reduces competition for nutrients, supporting dense and vibrant flowering carpets.

Height

Scilla typically grows to 20-30 cm. Its compact size makes it suitable for the front of borders, under shrubs, or as a companion to other early spring plants. It is also well-suited to pots and containers, where its delicate stems and flowers can be appreciated up close.

Flowering Time

Flowering begins as early as March and continues into April. The pastel shades of Scilla emerge before many trees and shrubs have leafed out, bringing gentle colour to the garden at the start of the season. These are among the earliest garden bulbs to flower each year.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Scilla is fully hardy and does not require lifting for winter. Once planted, the bulbs remain in the ground, returning and spreading naturally each year without extra care.

Uses

Ideal as ground cover beneath deciduous trees and shrubs or along the edges of borders, Scilla quickly establishes itself and can self-seed to form natural-looking drifts. It also performs well in containers and pots, offering a fresh, colourful accent to patios and balconies. The mixed colour selection provides varied and appealing combinations, enhancing the natural look of spring plantings.
