SCILLA FORBESII aka CHIONODOXA FORBESII

Scilla Forbesii (also known as Chionodoxa Forbesii, as well as Giant of the Snow) has a beautiful flower growing from a bulb. The flowers are a very striking blue and I have grown it (in a pot) for the first time in decades of gardening. I had never heard about it until the end of last year when I was hunting online for spring bulbs. According to the RHS, (RHS link to Scilla Forbesii) this little bulb is extremely tolerant of conditions such as growing medium, light, exposure, aspect and is hardy down to -15c.   Another name for it is Giant of the Snow as well as Forbes Squill, I kid you not.
