That was a nice person!



Thanks for your time and patience.....

Your Silver Squill was originally considered to be Scilla violacea, a member of the Bluebell family but the botany nerds got together and reclassified it as Ledebouria socialis It is native to South Africa. Ledebouria socialis needs full sun to partial shade with a well-drained soil mix (50/50 sand/loam). Let it dry completely between waterings. Feed monthly with 50% strength soluble house plant food when it is actively growing. Propagate by division.

I love that plant... especially the purple stamens!

Wow, that's very nice Barb.....very delicate looking.

I planted squill bulbs and only one ever came up.

I heard they are extremely poisonous.

Thanks, Bill,Loz,Tam,

I will uplosd the rest of the plant to show it ..I had it in lesser light before and this year moved it to the east side upstairs window and it liked it.

Differnt for sure....Wish I could remember who sent me the plant.. She sent a growing plant.....
