Striped Squill (Puschkinia libanotica): Early Blue-Striped Bells

Striped Squill (Puschkinia libanotica), also called Snowdrift or Early Stardrift, is a dainty early spring bulb producing dense spikes of pale blue, bell-shaped flowers — each petal adorned with a distinct darker blue stripe down the center. Its foliage is grass-like and goes dormant by early summer. Perfect for rock gardens, woodland edges, and naturalizing in lawns.
