Scilla
'Tubergeniana'
Misczenko squill
This stocky Scilla mischtschenkoana 'Tubergeniana' is a real little gem, flowering reliably every year with multiple blooms on each stem to provide a stunning blanket of colour. Providing valuable early-season interest, the palest-blue flowers open during late winter and last into mid spring, fading to white which gives them a semi two-tone look. This adorable variety looks great grown under trees or in drifts running through the border, but its high-density blooms and miniature size make it a particularly good choice for growing in patio pots.
Scilla mischtschenkoana 'Tubergeniana' is a great naturalising plant, gradually forming larger swathes of colour year by year. If you have a large area under a tree, these are the ideal, easy-to-grow plant to fit the role. They’re also very reliable for growing in pots too and a great solution if you have a small garden or shady patio, where they’ll just pop up and make a charming display each year with zero fuss.
If you’re looking for a great combination plant for these, try planting them with crocuses or chionodoxa—they’re all great friends!

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Most spring bulbs also grow well in containers.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
