These flowers appear in early spring, often while there’s still a chill in the air, making them one of the first signs of the season’s change. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and partial to full sunlight, and it’s great for planting in naturalised areas, rockeries, or under shrubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.088%; height: 19.5938px;\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" border=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\" data-mce-style=\"width: 100.088%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol style=\"width: 17.1378%;\" width=\"97\" data-mce-style=\"width: 17.1378%;\"\u003e \u003ccol style=\"width: 16.2544%;\" width=\"92\" data-mce-style=\"width: 16.2544%;\"\u003e \u003ccol style=\"width: 31.4488%;\" width=\"178\" data-mce-style=\"width: 31.4488%;\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Perennial\"}' data-mce-style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003ePerennial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flower: clustered flowers on taller stems\"}' data-mce-style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBulbous, Compact, Early Spring Bloomer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flowers June to August\"}' data-mce-style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFlowers: Early spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFoliage: Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eScilla siberica\u003c\/i\u003e can be loosely translated to “the Scilla from Siberia,” which reflects both its geographical association and the genus name’s historical ties to flowering plants in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSiberian Squill\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNative to Eastern Europe and parts of Western Asia, including Siberia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePruning Tips\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRemove spent flowers to prevent seed production and encourage the plant’s energy to return to the bulb.
