Scilla and relative 2020

Scilla mischtschenkoana

[Leena]

Nice pictures.  That is my favourite scilla because it is an early one to flower in the spring, and it doesn't seed around too much. In fact I have never gotten seeds from my plants, maybe they need another clone to produce seeds.

Hyacinthella nervosa is in flower once again.
The scape is not very high - I can't remember if it got much taller last year

Hyacinthoides lingulata is now emerging in the greenhouse before any watering, with leaves to follow.  However it's earlier in the garden & leaves come first (appreciated by slugs).

Scilla bifolia is growing in a bed which which gets some gets some irrigation and shade in summer. I think it can be a menace in milder climates but isn't invasive here

Quick question - I've just bought Scilla verna from Shiptons and they have arrived in leaf. Is that usual for verna?

[Yann]

a bit late, but yes quite normal. I've several forms producing 5-6cm leaves right now, they don't grow much more until january.

Prospero autumnale ssp. latifolia
