Scilla violacea (Leopard Lily / Silver Squill) – Wild Beauty in a Petite Package
Spotted Elegance. Compact Form. Unforgettable Style.

Bring a splash of the unexpected to your indoor garden with Scilla violacea, also known as Leopard Lily or Silver Squill. Native to South Africa, this captivating bulbous plant is treasured for its boldly patterned foliage and dainty, star-shaped blooms. With its sculptural form and minimal care needs, it’s an ideal addition to shelves, terrariums, and windowsills alike.

Why It Stands Out

Leopard-Spotted Leaves
Each thick, lance-shaped leaf is adorned with distinctive dark green or purple spots set against a silvery-green background—creating a wild, eye-catching pattern that sets it apart from typical houseplants.

Graceful, Starry Blooms
In spring and summer, slender flower stalks emerge from the center, carrying small clusters of soft green, pink, or lavender star-like flowers that dance above the foliage.

Compact & Decorative
Reaching just 6–12 inches in height, Scilla violacea is a perfect fit for small pots, tight corners, or as a contrasting accent in mixed arrangements.

Effortless Resilience
Tough, drought-tolerant, and adaptable, this plant thrives with minimal attention—making it a reliable choice for beginners and collectors alike.

Simple Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or light shade. Protect from harsh afternoon sun, especially in hot climates.

• Watering: Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Water more frequently during active growth (spring/summer) and sparingly in winter.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent bulb rot.

• Temperature: Thrives in average indoor conditions; protect from frost.

Perfect For:

• Terrariums and dish gardens

• Decorative pots on desks, shelves, and windowsills

• Adding pattern and texture to mixed succulent collections

• Gifting to beginner plant enthusiasts
