Scilla litardierei aka Dalmatian Scilla
Taxonomy
Scilla litardierei, also known as the amethyst meadow squill or Dalmatian scilla, is a bulbous perennial plant in the Asparagaceae family. It blooms in late spring, much later than the popular Siberian squill and Muscari, which it closely resembles. This clump-forming plant reaches a height of up to 25cm and features semi-erect basal leaves that are narrowly-strap-shaped. Its spikes bear small, star-shaped flowers in a beautiful violet-blue color during early summer. Previously identified as Scilla pratensis, this award-winning 1827 Meadow Squill boasts lavender to royal-blue composite blooms. Commonly called Wood Squill, it readily naturalizes in areas of light shade or dappled sunlight, while also being resistant to deer and rodents.
