The hybrid between Boissier's Glory-of-the-Snow Scilla luciliae and Siehe's Glory-of-the-Snow Scilla siehei is a favorite spring flower for gardens, which seems able to propagate. The white middle and the flat form of the blossom comes from Scilla siehei, while the small number of blossoms per stem and big size of the blossom are a heritage of Scilla luciliae. | ||
