Scilla siberica
Early spring blooms.

Dainty white blossoms to naturalize in spring landscapes. Also beautiful for forcing indoors.

More gardeners should try this lovely white form. Creates a nice contrast with classic blue Siberian Squill. 

Please Note: Squill naturalizes aggressively and is now considered invasive in some areas in the Upper Midwest and potentially in the Northeast. Before planting, consult local ecological resources, such as your University Agricultural Extension, to find out if squill is safe to plant in your area. Monitor spread and do not plant close to wetlands or forests.

Zone 2-8. 8cm+ bulbs.

6-8" tall.

Additional Information

Siberian Squill Scilla siberica

Loose clusters of delicate pendent bells with a very long bloom time. Prefers cool places, in short grass, under shrubs, deciduous trees or even the shady side of a cedar hedge. May be the most shade-tolerant bulb but also performs well in sun if the soil’s not too dry. Amazingly hardy and an excellent naturalizer. Beloved by bees.

Novelties and Specialties

The Royal General Bulbgrowers Association in Holland (Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur, or KAVB) puts this large group of diverse flowers into a boring catch-all category: Miscellaneous Bulbs. The expensive catalogs call them accent bulbs; some call them minor or dwarf bulbs (even though some of the fritillaries are huge!); Louise Beebe Wilder covered most of them in her 1936 classic Adventures with Hardy Bulbs. Whatever you call them, most are sweet, colorful, and completely welcome in spring.
