Scilla mischtschenkoana (tubergeniana)

Scilla mischtschenkoana (tubergeniana) is the earliest pale-blue gem. They seem to ignore the winter cold and emerge especially early to flower at the same time as the Cyclamen coum and the winter aconites - far earlier than other similar plants. Very hardy and well suited to the rockery or a border and under deciduous shrubs

RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Scilla mischtschenkoana (tubergeniana) has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because it has proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and a good performing plant. 

Planting Instructions

Scilla mischtschenkoana (tubergeniana) is easy, especially in light soils. Plant the bulbs in spring light but summer shade under deciduous trees 4" (10cm) deep and 3-4" (8-10cm) apart. Well-draining soil allows them a period of summer drought for dormancy
