Planting and Growing Information
Plant Scilla 'Excelsior' bulbs in fall, setting them 3 inches deep with approximately 15 bulbs per square foot for optimal display. They prefer well-drained soil but adapt to various conditions. Expect glorious blooms in late to very late spring, typically May, when many other spring bulbs have finished. The glossy, strap-shaped foliage forms attractive clumps that complement the vibrant flowers, then neatly dies back as the plants go dormant for summer.
