Puschkinia (Striped Squill) excellent for rock garden
Puschkinia are excellent for planting in a rock garden, in between shrubs or in pots. Naturalize under mature trees. It will successfully grow almost anywhere, as long as there is proper drainage. Puschkinia scilloides, commonly called striped squill, grows in a small clump to 4-6” tall. Each bulb typically produces two dark green strap-shaped leaves and a flower scape bearing 3-6 pale blue star-like flowers in a loose terminal raceme. Each flower petal has a blue inside center stripe, though some entirely white-petaled forms may be found. Flowers are fragrant. Blooms late winter to early spring.
Easily grown in medium moisture, well-drained sandy or gritty soils in full sun to part shade. Plant bulbs 2-3” deep and 3” apart in fall. Naturalizes by both self-seeding and bulb offsets. Goes dormant by late spring. Foliage should not be mowed or otherwise removed after bloom until it turns yellow.
Leave the bulbs alone during their winter growing months. Striped Squill bulbs naturalize easily and usually come back every year for at least the first 3 years. Select your desired size and color from the available option
