Ledebouria socialis 'Silver Squill'

Ledebouria socialis ‘Silver Squill’ is a compact, bulbous perennial native to South Africa, prized for its striking, silver-green leaves speckled with dark green or purple spots. The leaves emerge from small, onion-like bulbs that often sit partially above the soil, giving the plant a distinctive, textured appearance. It produces delicate spikes of tiny, pale lavender flowers in spring or early summer. Adaptable and resilient, ‘Silver Squill’ thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, tolerating occasional neglect and drought once established. Though often grown as a houseplant, it can also be used outdoors in frost-free climates, where it forms attractive clumps of patterned foliage.
