Flowering Plant


Scilla Verna, commonly known as spring squill, is a dwarf bulbous perennial with star‑shaped violet‑blue flowers that appear in early spring, often before many other flowers. Native to parts of western Europe, it thrives in well‑drained soils, tolerates full sun to partial shade, and is excellent for rock gardens, naturalizing in lawns, woodland gardens, and borders. Its delicate blooms attract bees and butterflies, adding seasonal interest to outdoor gardens.
