Scilla luciliae | Lucile's Glory of the Snow

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Scilla luciliae bears upward-facing, star-shaped flowers in clear blue shades, each petal highlighted by a crisp white center. The blossoms appear in loose clusters atop slender stems, rising above narrow, grasslike green foliage that emerges early in the season. Flowers open wide on sunny days, creating bright patches of color close to the ground.

Blooming in early spring, this species originates from mountainous regions of western Turkey. It performs well when planted in drifts beneath deciduous trees, along garden edges, and in open lawns, where it naturalizes gently and provides dependable early-season interest.
