Few spring bulbs make a statement like Scilla siberica. Also known as Siberian squill, this little bulb opens some of the truest blue flowers in the garden — nodding, star-shaped blooms in vivid cobalt that appear in early spring, often while frost still lingers. At just 10–15 cm tall, it's small in stature but unforgettable in effect, especially planted in drifts.

Siberian squill is one of the easiest and most rewarding bulbs you can grow in a Canadian garden. Plant it once in fall and it naturalizes freely, returning a little fuller each spring until it forms a sweep of blue beneath trees, along borders, and even through lawns. It's happy in full sun or part shade, thrives under deciduous trees that leaf out after it blooms, and is reliably deer and rodent resistant. As one of the first nectar sources of the year, it's a favourite of early-waking bees.

Planting & Care

Fall Bulb Planting Guide

  • Flower bulbs are a low-maintenance and rewarding way to add colour to your garden.
  • Fall-planted bulbs thrive when exposed to cool soil temperatures. They can be planted anytime from late September into January.
  • These bulbs lie dormant through winter and burst into bloom in the spring and early summer.
  • When you receive your bulbs, be sure to read the planting instructions included with each variety. Planting depth can vary depending on the size and type of the bulb, as well as how tall the mature plant will be.
  • As a general guideline, bulbs should be placed with the pointed end facing up and covered with about 15 cm (6 inches) of soil.
