'''Siberian squill''' (''Scilla siberica''), also known as '''wood squill''' or '''spring beauty''', is a [[bulb|bulbous]] [[perennial plant|perennial]] native to [[Siberia]] flowering in early spring. It naturalizes rapidly from seed. Flowers have six petals and six stamens, and are arranged singly or in racemes of 2 or 3. Most specimens have blue flowers, but the variety ''alba'' is white. The stamens of ''Scilla'' are separate, unlike those of the related genera ''[[Puschkinia]]'' and ''[[Chionodoxa]]'', and pollen is the same color as the flower. After flowering, the flower stems become limp and [[seedpod]]s form. At maturity, the pods become purple and split open, releasing small, dark brown seeds. When seed is mature, the leaves wither and the plant goes dormant till the next spring. Seedlings are small and hollow-leaved. At 15 cm (6 in), Siberian squill is suitable to be planted in grass, and will form large colonies that go dormant by the time grass needs to be mowed. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Scilla siberica pods.jpg|seed pods Image:Scilla_siberica_alba_bulbs.jpg|bulbs Image:Park Klepacza Lodz.jpg|Klepacza Park in Łodz, Poland </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
