White squill (Scilla) grows 20-30 cm and belongs to the low growing, yet exuberantly blooming and exceptionally ornamental perennials. It develops already in March the numerous bell-shaped, six-petal flowers that gracefully droop from the erect stems. It slightly resembles the well known lily-of-the-valley with its innocent charm, even though its flowers lose the bell shape at the peak of the flowering period, as they open broadly and take on a shape of a star. The long, narrow, vividly green leaves that form dense tufts provide a great setting for the snow white flowers.

The white squill requires a soil with high water capacity that does not dry off and is rich in humus. The sufficient humidity is of particular essence in the spring during the blooming period. This plant feels equally well in the sun and partial shade. We recommend to plant its bulbs 6 to 8 cm deep late in summer or in autumn. Growing the white squill in the vicinity of tall shrubs, in rock garden or in company of heathers is a great idea. This frost resistant species shows excellent vigour and can be also used for covering larger areas, as it does not need to be excavated before the winter. We only recommend to cover the squill plantings with dried leaves and tree bark during the snowless and harsh winters.

Each package contains 100 pieces of the high quality bulbs measuring 7 to 8 cm in circumference. The bulbs offered in our store come from the Netherlands.
