Dear all:
Scilla natalensis has been a very easy and dependable bulb for
years in a bed raised 40 cm. It is dormant in winter and do not seem to mind
our year round rains given the extra drainage. Foliage is quite attractive
in a rosette and the bulbs grows partially out of the ground . These bulbs
came from the late Wendy McClelland. The flowers are nothing like in Bill's
image being a dull pale blue, hardly noticeable, so it is important to
mention that not all flowers are the same attractive blue.
Regards
Alberto
