It produces striking conical spikes packed with dozens of tiny lavender‑blue to amethyst flowers, each bloom typically 1–1.5 cm across, rising above a rosette of fleshy, often purple‑spotted leaves. Mature bulbs are notably ornamental themselves, displaying a glossy amethyst‑purple coloration.

'Spring Beauty'
Scilla
Scilla siberica, commonly known as Siberian Squill, is a bulbous perennial native to southwestern Russia, the Caucasus, and Turkey.
