Siberian Scilla 'Alba'

Scilla siberica 'Alba' is a beautiful and refined white-flowered form of the Siberian scilla, offering an exquisite contrast to the more common blue varieties. Its delicate, star-shaped, pure white flowers emerge in profusion in early spring, creating a charming spectacle in the garden. Each slender stem carries several nodding blooms, forming a drift of pristine colour that brightens shaded areas. Ideal for naturalising in lawns, rock gardens, or under deciduous trees and shrubs, 'Alba' thrives in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. It is incredibly hardy and resilient, spreading readily through self-seeding to form impressive clumps over time, providing a valuable early nectar source for emerging pollinators. A superb choice for adding a touch of elegance and early season cheer. It is distinct from Scilla siberica.
