Puschkinia scilloides

Striped Squill, Lebanon Squill

In cold climates, Striped Squills' small bluish-white flowers poke out of the snow. Like its relative the True Squill (Scilla), it is excellent along pathways and in open woodlands, rock gardens and containers. Most effective when planted in drifts and left undisturbed to multiply and self-seed. Best in cold winter climates. Keep relatively dry after plants go dormant in summer. Bulbs do not grow well indoors.

Star-shaped flowers range from light to deep blue with each petal center-striped in deep blue. White varieties are also available.
