The Glory of the Snow 'Blue', 'Chionodoxa luciliae', a fall planted bulb, produce masses of open, star-shaped blue flowers with white centers. The bulbs can produce up to 10 blossoms. The strap-shaped leaves form loose, rather untidy rosettes.
These plants are great for mass plantings, containers, ground cover, and borders. Blue Glory of the Snow bloom in early to mid spring and they flower for about a 3 week period.
The Freesia 'Assorted colors', 'Freesia double', a fall planted bulb, is our dazzling multicolored assortment (featuring vivid reds, bright golds, luminous pinks, dusky blues and pristine whites) that bears an abundance of blooms. It is every bit as fragrant as the single varieties, and with twice the petals on each flower for a showier effect!
Freesia works well in small groups, in rock gardens, and in front of borders. Freesia do best where nights are cool, and in northern climates plant the bulbs early in the spring.
The Squill 'Pale Blue', 'Puschkinia scilloides libanotica', a fall planted bulb, produces pale blue and white flowers with a line of deeper color down the center of each petal. The Pale Blue Squill is a lovely addition to your garden, with its delicate little flowers. The small blossoms in loose clusters are useful for a wide variety of purposes.
This genus owns its name to the Russian botanist Puschkin. It is native to Asia and the Middle East. The Squill is a dainty plant and flowers in very early spring. They also have a fine spicy fragrance.
