The Scilla bifolia bulbs, also known as alpine squill, produce a beautiful plant with short, glossy, and sword-shaped foliage. Sturdy stems support small racemes of flowers, each containing up to 10 small, blue, star-shaped flowers with backward-reflexed petals.
Scilla bifolia thrives in a moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sunlight, though it can adapt to partial shade conditions. Its ability to grow well in shaded areas, such as under shrubs, makes it an ideal choice for naturalizing a space. Additionally, this plant is known for attracting pollinators, making it a beneficial addition to any garden.
