Planting and Growing Information
Plant Scilla litardierei bulbs in fall, positioning them 4-6 inches deep and 4 inches apart in well-drained, humus-rich soil. They thrive in both full sun and partial shade locations, adapting well to various garden environments. Water freely during active growth, but reduce irrigation during summer dormancy. Expect vibrant blooms in late spring to early summer, with flowering periods lasting approximately three weeks. The size 6/7 bulbs ensure robust growth and reliable flowering.
