In what soil do you grow scilla autumnalis?I have seen it growing wild in the dunes in pure sand.Does it really need such a poor soil?
John, I grow mine in loam (sandy) in a south facing bed. They grow and flower very well and are self seeding almost as a weed.Poul
Does any one know any collection location descriptions for Hyacinthides (Scilla) lingulata?
I have collections from Algeria, Tunesia and Morocco. You may find some data in the Archibald files.
Hyacinthides (Scilla) lingulata from RRW - Cert of Merit formthis one is blooming now about 1 month later than the other forms i posted and blooms with the foliage present, it has a deep blue ovary and dark blue anthers.I find it odd that these reach for the sun but wilt in the full sun even in the sand plunge. these must naturally grow in a wooded or part shades area.
