Siberian squill plants (Scilla siberica) love the same sun and soil conditions as snowdrops. In early spring, they burst with vivid blue blooms on slender green stalks, like a blue version of a ...
The flowers are usually blue, but those of Scilla siberica var. alba are white. The stamens of Scilla are separate, unlike those of the related genus Puschkinia, which are fused into a tube. The pollen is dark blue. After flowering, the flower stems become limp as capsules (pods) mature. At maturity, the capsules become purple and split open ...
In classical literature, Scilla was known for its medicinal properties. [b] [3] Later mentions include pre-Linnaen botanists such as Fuchs (1542) [7] and Clusius (1601), who considered many closely related plants to be types of Hyacinthus.

An inflorescence of 5–12 (exceptionally 3–32) flowers is borne on a stem up to 500 mm (20 in) tall, which droops towards the tip; [2] the flowers are arranged in a 1-sided nodding raceme. [8] Each flower is 14–20 mm (0.55–0.79 in) long, with two bracts at the base, and the six tepals are strongly recurved at their tips. [ 8 ]
Several African species previously classified in Scilla have been removed to the genus Ledebouria. The best known of these is the common houseplant still sometimes known as Scilla violacea but now properly Ledebouria socialis.

When treated as a subfamily, the name Scilloideae is derived from the generic name of the type genus, Scilla, and is attributed to Gilbert Thomas Burnett in 1835. [1] When treated as a family, the name Hyacinthaceae is derived from the type genus Hyacinthus, and is usually attributed to August Batsch from ("ex") a 1797 publication by Moritz Borkhausen.
