CARE GUIDE

How to keep Scilla Villosa.

Water

Scilla villosa needs minimal watering once it is established. However, newly planted bulbs require regular moisture for the first few weeks. In dry climates, occasional watering during the growth period is helpful. Once the plant enters dormancy in summer and fall, stop watering altogether.

Pruning

To encourage vigorous flowering and prevent disease, prune Scilla villosa in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead leaves to improve airflow and light exposure. Be careful not to cut into the central bulb, as it supports regeneration. Regular pruning helps Scilla villosa remain dense and bushy, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
