White Squill marks winter's end with showy spikes of star-shaped blooms, each petal with a blue stripe down the center to lend flowers a delicate elegance. These award-winning bulbs are easy to grow with loose spikes of long blooming flowers from late winter through early spring. (Scilla mischtschenkoana or Tubergeniana)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(4-6" tall) White Squill brightens woodland gardens and
border plantings with loose flower spikes lasting several weeks. The small
blooms provide an early source of nectar and pollen for bees. White squill is a
favorite bulb for massing around the base of deciduous trees and shrubs, where
plants receive ample sun during bloom time before the trees leaf out. White
Squill is hardy in zones 4-9, where the deer and squirrel resistant bulbs
slowly naturalize and spread to form small clumps. Provide a site with full to
partial sun during bloom time and a well-draining soil. Lovely planted in
drifts among other spring bulbs. Allow the strappy foliage to die back
naturally as plants enter summer dormancy. White Squill received an Award of
Garden Merit from the Royal Horticulture Society.
