Scilla litardierei

Scilla litardierei (syn. S. amethystina, S. pratensis, S. albanica, S. italica, S. nutans, Chouardia litardierrei) the Amethyst Meadow Squill (or Dalmatian Scilla) is a bulbous perennial, grown for its blue grape-hyacinth like flowers, blooming in late spring, much later than the more popular Siberian squill and later than Muscari which it resembles. Originating in the western Balkans, hence Dalmatian Scilla, it was introduced to western Europe (England) in 1827. It has become much more easily available since 2004.
