White Flower Farm Scilla mischtschenkoana

These bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in early spring.

Yes, Scilla mischtschenkoana is known for being self-propagating. If left undisturbed in a suitable location, they will naturalize and gradually spread to create larger, denser patches.

Absolutely. Because they bloom early and have a short stature, they are excellent for naturalizing in grass. Just be sure to wait until the foliage has yellowed and died back naturally before mowing the area.

Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, these are generally ignored by deer and other common garden pests.

For the best results, plant the bulbs approximately 1 inch deep. Space them about 3 inches apart to give them enough room to grow and multiply.

They are quite versatile and will thrive in both full sun and partial shade. They perform particularly well under deciduous trees, as they bloom early enough to capture the sunlight before the tree canopy fully leafs out.
