I have rebloomed many other "difficult" bulbs. But this > one baffles me. Scilla peruviana is a reliable performer in my garden. It wasn't that I was clever in where I sited it, just plain ol' lucky. "Where can I squeeze this in? Oh, over there! That'll do." Planted in heavyish loam abt 4' from the south wall of my house. Not really full sun, but the white stucco behind it ensures fairly bright light even when the bulbs are in shade from trees to the south/east/west. No extra water given during our usual summer drought that lasts from late May to early September. A few sprinkles in June, but nothing serious. I wonder if you are giving them summer water? Bulbs have stationed themselves just below soil level. Winter temperatures usually around 5C (41F), but some years we have spells of sub-freezing weather. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island
