Plant details
As its name implies, this squill comes from Russia and the Caucasus region, and it is very hardy and vigorous. It is great favourite in gardens for its simple grace, just a few nodding open bells in a brilliant shade of Prussian blue, and its ability to self-seed into unexpected cracks and crevices. Planted at the edge of trees and hedges, or liberally in grass, it will quickly spread into large colonies without giving any impression of invasiveness. Bulbs may be planted in pots for forcing even earlier flowers, sometimes at the beginning of January. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
