Plant of the Day

Tuesday 28 April 2026

A native throughout most of central and southern Europe, Scilla bifolia (alpine squill, early spring squill) is ideal for naturalising in a meadow, a gravel garden or an herbaceous border. This spring flowering bulbous perennial thrives in full sun and a well-drained soil.
