Puschkinia scilloides var. libanotica "Alba" — is an elegant bulbous perennial plant that blooms in early spring, valued for its unpretentiousness, good winter hardiness, and delicate snow-white inflorescences. During flowering, Puschkinia looks especially decorative, adorning the garden with light clusters of bell-shaped flowers. This variety is perfect for flower beds, rockeries, container plantings, and compositions with other early-flowering plants, effectively combining with botanical tulips, muscari, and dwarf narcissus.
The plant grows up to 20–25 cm tall and forms upright peduncles with loose racemose inflorescences. The flowers are bell-shaped, pure white with a delicate creamy-yellow center. The leaves are linear, green, about 1 cm wide and up to 15 cm long, appearing simultaneously with the peduncles. Flowering begins in April and creates an atmosphere of lightness and spring freshness in the garden.
The bulbs overwinter well in open ground. They are planted in autumn at a depth of about 5 cm in light garden soil in sunny areas or in partial shade. The plant does not tolerate waterlogging and develops better when planted in groups. Puschkinia can grow in one place for 5–7 years, after which transplanting and dividing daughter bulbs are recommended. In late spring, the plant gradually enters a dormant period.
