Scilla, Assorted
Description
Scilla, commonly known as squill, is a genus of bulb-forming perennial herbs in the family Asparagaceae. These plants are known for their beautiful, star-shaped flowers that come in shades of blue, white, and purple. They are often among the first to bloom in spring, adding a splash of color to gardens and landscapes.
Suggested Uses
Scilla is ideal for rock gardens, borders, and woodland gardens. They can also be naturalized in lawns and meadows, providing early-season interest. Their compact size makes them suitable for container planting as well.
