Scilla 'Blue Giant'
glory of the snow bulbs (syn. Chionodoxa forbesii Blue Giant)
Larger than average, white-eyed, blue flowers form in loose spikes in early spring. Versatile and easy to grow, they're ideal for a sunny rock garden, alpine bed or border where a vibrant shot of early colour is called for. Suitable for naturalising, they can be kept in the ground where they will gradually form generous swathes.
