Scilla Bifolia
By Lou Paun
Scilla Bifolia - Not so well known as S. sibirica, but quite as welcome. In the very dawn of spring, and indeed often in winter, this bears rich masses of dark blue flowers, and forms handsome tufts.
Scilla haemorrhoidales
10 (20)cm, an almost unknown, very rare Scilla from the Western Canary Islands growing in rich soil in shaded rock crevices. Broadly flat leaf rosette and rose colored racemes with contrasting sky blue miniature flowers.
Scilla pratensis
( Scilla )
Bulbous perennial that is clump-forming in habit. Leaves are linear, basal and reach 6 to 12 inches long in early summer. At the same time, racemes of star-shaped, light blue to lilac flowers bloom. Good for naturalizing.
Scilla peruviana L.
Common Names
Caribbean lily, Cuban lily, Havana lily, hyacinth-of-Peru, Peruvian lily ...
Right off the bat this has to be gotten out of the way, to note that despite the species name of Scilla peruviana & common names to match, this is neither a native of Peru nor of Cuba.
Scilla peruviana is of interest for its name; it is a native of southwest Europe, not of Peru.
Scilla is one of the earliest spring flowers to bloom. Flowering for a remarkably long time they bear clusters of bloom spikes that offer scented deep blue flowers.
Scilla hyacinthoides
Hyacinth Squill - Bulb w/rosettes of long green lvs w/tall spikes of blue star shaped flwrs in late spring. Full sun/light shade in lean soil w/litte H2O. Hardy to

Originally applied to the wild English hyacith or Blue Bell (Scilla nutans); later used in Scotland for this species, also known, therefore, as the "Blue Bells of Scotland".
Cyclamen are easily covered up and out-competed by spreading perennials, so their best companions are small clumping plants such as anemone, buttercup, chionodoxa, crocus, scilla, snowdrops, winter aconites, primula, and small ferns and hostas.
