Scilla peruviana bulbs can be planted from late summer to early autumn. Choose a sunny or semi shaded site on rich-fertile, well drained soil and plant them so that the tip of the bulb sits just below the soil surface.

Scilla peruviana bulbs require little maintenance but must be allowed to die back naturally after flowering, in order to feed the bulb for the following year. They require a dry, dormant period for about a month after dying back in summer. Avoid watering during this period.
