You Garden Russian Snowdrop - Puschkinia libanotica (60 bulbs) Bring early-season magic into your garden with Puschkinia libanotica. One of those quietly astonishing plants that never fails to surprise and delight. Sometimes called the 'Striped Squill', it's one of the first to emerge in spring, pushing up elegant, star-shaped flowers in icy tones of white brushed with baby blue. The detail in each bloom is exquisite, like they've been hand-painted, and when planted en-masse, they create a shimmering carpet of colour that lights up borders, containers and naturalised areas under shrubs and trees. They thrive at the front of spring borders, or packed into patio pots for a gentle show of colour. Puschkinia combine beautifully with snowdrops, crocus, miniature daffodils and Scilla, and because they flower so early, they're great for giving pollinators a vital food source at the start of the year. Once they're finished flowering, leave the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can replenish for the following year. They'll gently multiply over time, so your display gets better every season. What's really handy is that they're compact too, growing to just 15-20cm tall, so they never look out of place, even in smaller spaces. And being fully hardy, they'll shrug off winter weather without a fuss. Supplied as a set of 60 bulbs, size 5/6.
