The Woodland Squill Mixture

Naturalizing Woodland Squill impart such magic and beauty to sun-dappled forests, rock gardens and garden borders. Our new blend includes equal parts of Scilla bifolia rosea, mischtschenkoana, siberica alba and siberica Spring Beauty. You’ll need about nine bulbs per square foot. (Square footage is determined multiplying the planting site’s length times its width.) In woodland settings, you can also scatter-plant the bulbs for a more natural look. Full to partial sunlight. Bloom time: April. Horticultural zones 3-8. Plant 5" deep and 4" to 6" apart. Height: 4” to 5”. (Scilla are also good for forcing: pot them up in mid-October, precool them at a consistent, dark 38° to 45°F for six to eight weeks with moderate watering. Bring them into the house~they will bloom about two to four weeks later.)

Scilla are The Art & Soul of Spring.
