They form an enchanting blue tapetum. It is really necessary to plant them in large numbers because they are really small young plants! I planted them with narcissus and the combination perfectly illuminates my flowerbed! The bulbs were of good quality and have taken well!" Analysis: 1. "tapetum" is a term used in botany to describe a layer of cells in the anther of a flower, so it may not be the most appropriate translation for "tapis" in this context. I would suggest using "carpet" instead. 2. "narcissus" is the correct term for the flower mentioned. 3. "flowerbed" is a more appropriate term for "massif" in this context. 4. The use of exclamation marks is appropriate in this context to convey enthusiasm and excitement. Overall, the translation is accurate and captures the meaning and context of the original text.

Description

The Siberian Scilla 'Spring Beauty' is a bulbous plant that is very cold-resistant, as indicated by its name "siberica": from Siberia. With intense blue flowers, they are the first Scillas in spring! They arrive at the same time as crocuses and snowdrops.

 

This Siberian Scilla is a bulbous plant that bears 2 or 3 stems with 4 to 5 pendulous blue bell-shaped flowers, each measuring 3cm (1in). Its medium green foliage appears before the flowering, forming a tuft about 10cm (4in) wide.

Low-growing, it easily naturalizes in any fresh or moist soil that is well-drained and rich in humus, in a semi-shaded position. A light woodland is ideal. Easy to grow, you can use it to decorate rockeries, borders, pots, as well as the base of forsythias, all over the garden in between spaces occupied by deciduous perennials.

The Siberian Scilla 'Spring Beauty' perfectly harmonizes with the white Siberian Scilla 'Alba'.
