Scilla violacea
(This plant comes in a 3.5" pot. You will receive a very similar plant to the one in the picture. It may or may not be blooming at the time of your purchase. The plant is shipped in its pot to prevent any damage to the roots).
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.

United StatesBeautiful, delicate leaves of the Scilla Violacea
I received my plant in Jan. 2021. It was well wrapped and protected for shipping. When I went to re-pot the plant, I discovered that there were 5 bulb roots, that easily separated. 6 weeks later I have 5 healthy plants, growing outdoors in a semi-shaded patio area. Thank you Planet Desert.
United StatesFreaky 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.
