Known as Russian Snowdrops, pretty Puschkinia libanotica are charming little wildflowers which will add twinkles of interest to your spring pots and borders. Flowering in March and April, the petite spikes carry up to 10 dainty, almost-white flowers with a faint blue stripe down the length of each petal.Originating in the eastern Mediterranean, Puschkinia are named after the 18th century Russian botanist Apollo Mussin-Pushkin and are a member of the Asparagaceae family. Plant these star-shaped blooms as bulbs in autumn, 10cm deep, on moist, well-drained soil in an area where they can naturalise beautifully such as under trees or shrubs in the borders or fill gaps in your spring pots or rockery area.Happy in sun or part shade, these hardy bulbs will reach a height and spread of 15cm.
