Commonly called ‘striped squill’ this bulb presents racemes of fragrant frosty white blooms for up to 6 weeks in spring. Each of its six rounded star-shaped petals sports a central blue vein pointing towards a small yellow center. Happy in full sun to part shade and fertile, well-drained, soil. Moist in spring with dry summers will ensure spring bloom. Naturalizes easily and bulblets can be divided and replanted. Plant en masse with a mix of crocus, narcissus and tulips for a well rounded bulb collection that can be mowed in late spring, or use it as a lively spring border. Lovely in a small nosegay on the window sill.

NOTE: These are SUMMER DORMANT plants; they dry up and go "to sleep" after they bloom in spring. Other examples of summer dormant plants are Tulips and Daffodils. Do not be alarmed when they disappear with the onset of warm weather days--given proper conditions, they will be back the next spring, bigger and better than before.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
