Scilla violacea is an easy-to-care plant. Bulbs at the base of the plant must be above the soil. The horticultural usefulness of Ledebouria socialis lies in the fact that it thrives in rich compost in shade and semi-shade, where many other plants will flounder. It is an excellent plant for the classroom or terrarium; flowers freely.

Overall Review of Purchase

I must use a freight forwarder to get things as I live outside the continental US. I totally understand the perils of this, but am willing to put up with it as there are things I want and this is the only way to get them. Your plants arrived in perfect condition with the exception of the Scilla Violacea, which looked dark, wilted and very sad. I looked it up to see what I could do to rescue it and have watered it and am keeping my fingers crossed. I am hoping it will grow new leaves from the bulbs. If you have any suggestions I would be most receptive. The rest of the plants were beautifully wrapped and I really appreciate the plastic tabs that can be put in each plant to ID it. Thank you for doing such a professional job and shipping healthy plants well wrapped. Like the little Planet Desert stickers, too. Donna (Wife of Ray and Plant Person)

Freaky little thing.

A couple leaves got damaged in shipment but there’s not much you can do to protect leaves in transit. Once it got established I’m seeing lots of new growth. What a weird little plant.
