I think Jim got his Scilla greilhuberi from me. I have grown it in the open garden in a very well drained raised bed for some years, where it flourishes. This winter it survived 12 degrees F/minus 11 C without snow cover. This is a pretty flower with prominent stamens and reflexed bright blue tepals, large for a Scilla (or whatever it may end up being called). I did lost S. mauretanica to cold, as Jim did.
