Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.
Description
Alpine squill (Scilla bifolia) is a small perennial bulbous plant with two narrow green leaves and delicate blue flowers arranged in a raceme.
It flowers in early spring and is characteristic of woodland and meadow habitats in Europe.
This plant is easy to grow and is often used for rock gardens, borders and natural flower beds.
How to grow
Position: Plant in a spot with partial shade or sun; it prefers well-drained, fertile soil.
Soil: It prefers moist but not waterlogged soil rich in organic matter.
Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, but avoid standing water.
Propagation: By bulbs, which are planted in autumn at a depth of about 5–7 cm.
Care: After flowering the leaves turn yellow and the plant goes dormant — watering is then reduced.
Overwintering: Hardy to cold, but in very harsh winters it can be covered with mulch for protection.
