Blue Squill

Scilla siberica

Blue squill is excellent for naturalizing beneath trees that lose their leaves, where it will form drifts of singing blue bells in early spring. Needs a few years to really hit its stride. Capable of self-sowing. Try it with early daffodils such as Tête-à-Tête.
Deer Resistant

Note: Blue squill is resistant to deer, but rodents such as voles and gophers may eat the bulbs.

Item # 6009
Height 5—7 inches
Sunlight Full or Part
Soil Well drained
Flower Color Blue
Bulb Size 7–8cm
?
Bulb size is determined by the circumference around the largest part of the bulb. Colorblends only delivers top size bulbs. Large bulbs produce more or larger flowers than small bulbs.
USDA Zones 3a—8b
?
Hardy in USDA zones 3a to 8b in the South or 9b on the West Coast. Prechill in zones 7b and warmer in the South, Southwest, and California.
Bloom Time Early
Bloom times are relative within the spring bulb season, which varies from place to place and year to year. They are intended to help you plan a sequence of bloom from Very Early season to Very Late season. About two weeks separate Early from Mid and Mid from Late. The start and duration of bloom is heavily dependent on the weather. Warm temperatures speed up growth and flowering; cold temperatures slow them down.

Colorblends.com Is Closed for Winter

Planting Instructions

Full sun or partial shade. Well-drained soil. Blue squill can self-sow with abandon: If left undisturbed, a handful of bulbs may eventually become a thick, brilliant blue carpet in spring. Can be naturalized in a lawn if you’re willing to hold off on mowing until the seed capsules open and the foliage has yellowed.

Depth of Planting Hole 3 inches
Spacing 2 inches apart
