Puschkinia

Puschkinia is a hardy bulbous plant native to the Caucasus and Middle East. It thrives in UK gardens, offering early spring blooms that provide nectar for pollinators. The pale blue flowers appear from March to April, when few other nectar sources are available.

This plant suits woodland gardens, rockeries, or naturalised lawns. It prefers well-drained soil and partial shade. Puschkinia supports bees and other insects emerging from hibernation. The bulbs multiply readily, forming dense clusters over time. Plant them in autumn for a reliable spring display.
