Scilla siberica

The Siberian squill (Scilla siberica) is a spring bulbous plant with multiple little hanging star-shaped flowers in a rare blue colour. This low growing flower looks lovely combined with other low-flowering varieties such as botanical tulips and narcissi, fumewort (Corydalis solida) or snake’s head (Fritillaria meleagris). This plant is a native to central Russia and Asia Minor, even though the name suggests that it originates from Siberia. This Siberian squill doesn’t exist in blue only, there is also a white variety (Scilla siberica ‘Alba’). Plant the scilla (in the autumn) in your garden, it’s perimeter, or even in a pot, and you will experience a bright blue early spring!
