More Details

Delicate and pretty, exceptionally early-flowering bulb and invaluable for that as a pot topper to precede your tulips.

I also love them in a shallow pot as a beautiful living table centre for an outsde table, on a window ledge or doorstep. This scilla is also lovely for naturalising with snowdrops.

Allow a planting density of 50-100 bulbs per square metre (5-10 per square foot).
Sowing, Seeds, Planting Plant bulbs 8-10cm (3-4in) deep in late summer or early autumn in a moderately fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade
Care Tips Can be naturalised easily In Grass, scatter them in drifts in a semi-shady area and plant them where they fall. If drainage is a problem add plenty of grit when planting. Plants will spread by offsets and self-seeding. Lift and divide offsets in late summer or autumn, when dormant.

Service good thank you. Scillas fine thank you. No show at all from the two lots of anenomes I bought for my garden and the guerilla garden in the village - mayve squirrels dug them up and ate them. Gloria Rothschildia rhizomes LOOKED fine and I planted as instructed but absolutely no show of flowers - won't do that again!!
