Scilla mischtschenkona | White Squill

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Scilla mischtschenkona produces soft, pale blue to white flowers marked with deeper blue midribs along each petal, forming delicate star-shaped blooms. The blossoms are held in small clusters on slender stems above narrow, arching green foliage that emerges in late winter to early spring. Flowers open fully in bright light, creating a gentle wash of color across early spring plantings.

This species originates from the Caucasus region near the Caspian Sea. It works well in woodland gardens, beneath deciduous trees, along pathways, and in naturalized drifts where its subtle tones blend easily with other early bulbs.
