This particular Puschkinia Libanotica is a subtle spring bloomer, beautifully white with fine blue lines in each flower. This beauty grows between 10 and 20 cm tall, it likes to be in full sun or a spot where there is also semi-shade. The flowering period will be March, April and these beauties originate from the alpine meadows in eastern Turkey, Iran, and Lebanon.  

This particular spring bloomer is named after Count Puschkin who collected various plants in the Caucasus and died in 1805. Actually, these flowers just look like light porcelain, this Puschkinia is related to the Scilla and is therefore also good for naturalising, and as an underplanting in shrubs and trees. Give it a well-drained soil, and just enjoy this amazingly beautiful subtle spring bloomer.

Other information

  • First loosen the soil well where the flower bulbs will be planted. Then the soil is easier to work with.
  • Dig a hole and make sure it is 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the bulbs.
  • For the distance between the bulbs, make sure it is 2 times the diameter of the flower bulbs.
  • Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
  • Cover the bulbs with soil and water them well.
