Puschkinia scilloides var. libanotica is a charming early spring flowering bulb producing clusters of delicate white, star-shaped flowers, each petal marked with a soft pale blue stripe. Flowering from March to April and reaching approximately 20cm in height, this elegant variety brings subtle beauty to borders, rockeries, woodland gardens and containers. Its compact size and natural appearance make it ideal for planting in drifts where it will gradually establish over time.

Thriving in full sun or partial shade, Puschkinia scilloides var. libanotica prefers well-drained soil and is exceptionally hardy and easy to grow. It naturalises readily, returning each spring with increasingly impressive displays while providing an important early nectar source for pollinating insects.
