Bulbous perennial

Scilla Autumnalis (also known as Prospero autumnale or autumn squill) is a hardy, perennial bulb that produces charming, star-shaped flowers in late winter to early spring. These bulbs adapt well to well-drained soil and prefer full sun to partial shade, making them excellent choices for rock gardens, borders, woodland edges, and naturalizing sites. Once established, they require minimal care and bring early seasonal color each year.
