Description
Puschkinia Libanotica, known as The Striped Squill, features dainty stems which bear clusters of pale blue flowers with a deeper blue streak down the centre of each petal.

Ideal for naturalising in grassy areas or adding subtle elegance to garden borders, Puschkinia Libanotica’s gentle beauty and intricate patterns provide a delightful visual treat.
Care Guide
Dainty spring beauties which are similar to Scilla, Puschkinia are great for growing in clumps in a rockery and in drifts near the front of a garden border.
Plant the small bulbs with their pointed tips facing upwards, 8cm deep and 8cm apart into any well-drained soil.
Choose a sunny or lightly shaded location for optimal growth. These Mediterranean natives prefer moist growing conditions during spring, followed by a period of warm and dry conditions over the summer months which helps to ripen the bulbs.
Petite stems of enchanting, star-shaped blooms flower during March and April.
