A true springtime gem... If you've never grown Puschkinia libanotica before, let us introduce you to an early spring bulb packed with quiet charm. And once it’s in, it just keeps giving.
Commonly called the 'Striped Squill', these lovely little bulbs burst into flower just as the garden is waking up from winter. Each bloom is a soft powder blue, beautifully striped with deeper blue through the centre of each petal, like nature's own pinstripe. Subtle but striking, and when you plant them en masse, the carpet effect is astonishing.
Grow through lawns, under trees, in borders, between paving or even tucked into pots. Wherever you plant them, they just work. They're low-growing, around 10cm tall, so they never overpower, but they create a magical sea of blue that early pollinators absolutely love.
What’s more, they naturalise beautifully. So each year, you'll get more flowers, more colour, and more spring cheer, with no effort from you. Just plant them once, and let nature do the rest. They're fully hardy, disease resistant, and thrive in most well-drained soils in sun or partial shade.
Supplied as a set of 60 bulbs, size 5/6.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
