-Shipped September/October as "bare root" in 2-3/8" pots, as they start growing late August- [Syn.: Scilla lingulata ssp. ciliolata] A rarely encountered bulb hailing from N Africa with fragrant light blue scilla flowers in fall. The leaves are out from late summer into spring, dormant all summer. They need excellent drainage, especially in zone 7. And keep the salt shaker handy; slug caviar! Large bulbs 1" to 1-1/2".
