Description
Scilla hyacinthoides Blue Arrow grows up to 3 feet tall with stems of starry light blue flowers. Scillas can be grown in many areas of the garden but really prefer the hotter spots were they will get plenty of sun. Soils should be fertile and not prone to drying out.
Scillas such as Scilla hyacinthoides Blue Arrow are also known as the squills. They are mostly blue in colour although we do have some lovely whites.
The scilla family of spring-blooming bulbs includes some of the best bulbs for naturalizing. When planted beneath shrubs and shade trees, in woodlands and beside streams and ponds, they multiply quickly and will give you waves of color year after year.
