Flowering Plant

Scilla scilloides, also known as Chinese squill or Barnardia japonica, is a graceful bulbous perennial native to East Asia. It features narrow leaves with clusters of petite star‑shaped pink‑purple flowers that emerge above the foliage in late summer to early autumn. These bulbs are perfect for adding an unexpected splash of color after many other spring bulbs have finished flowering. Scilla scilloides thrives in well‑drained soil and can be naturalized in woodland gardens, borders, and rock gardens
