Scilla Litardierei

Scilla litardierei is a graceful and reliable late spring bloomer that fills the garden with soft, calming shades of blue. Each slender stem carries a cone-shaped cluster of delicate, star-like flowers in gentle violet-blue tones. Flowering just as tulips and daffodils begin to fade, it helps extend the spring display beautifully into early summer.

Compact and elegant, this scilla is ideal for naturalising in lawns, rock gardens and at the front of borders. It also performs very well in containers or planted around shrubs, where it slowly multiplies to form charming drifts of colour. Once established, Scilla litardierei needs very little attention and will return year after year with dependable results.
