When we say giant, we mean giant. The Giant White Squill bulbs are HUGE; each bulb is about the size of a soccer ball! It can be a bit of a shock to receive and plant such a huge bulb, but the results of these 10 year old bulbs are stunning. While the bulbs are huge, the delicate flowers they produce are quite graceful and have appeared in several high profile magazines including InStyle, Garden Design, Architectural Digest, and numerous Pottery Barn cataloges. The Giant White Squill's flowers are a creamy white and grow on upright stems that can get up to five feet high. These stems grow straight as an arrow for the first month and then develop interesting twists and curls as they mature. These stalks are incredibly dramatic and have the much desired "Wow" factor. The Giant White Squill is happiest in warmer zones 8-10, they won't thrive in areas that get frost. The leaves bloom from November to May, slip into dormancy during mid summer and then return in August with a huge flower stalk. Don't miss out on these, they are quite beautiful and impressive!
