Know before you buy
Scilla bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the winter so they are ready to bloom as soon as the spring thaw begins.
Yes, Scilla siberica is a reliable perennial. Once established, they will return and bloom every spring, often naturalizing and spreading over time to create a larger display.
Yes, Scilla is generally avoided by deer and other garden pests. Their bitter taste makes them an excellent choice for landscapes where wildlife pressure is a concern.
Absolutely. Because they are compact and reach only 15 inches in height, they perform very well in pots. Ensure your container has good drainage to prevent the bulbs from rotting during the winter.
No, these bulbs actually prefer partial sun to full shade. They are ideal for planting under deciduous trees, as they bloom early in the spring before the tree canopy fills in and blocks the light.
Each order includes 20 bulbs. Since each bulb produces multiple flowering stems, this quantity is sufficient to create a significant cluster or a dense border display.
