Notes: Siberian Squill has drooping, bell-shaped flowers, one to three on a common scape, often several scapes per bulb. After flowering, the flower stems become limp as capsules (pods) mature. At maturity, the capsules become purple and split open, releasing small, dark brown seeds. When the seeds are mature, the leaves wither and the plant goes dormant until the next spring. In the Netherlands the Scilla siberica has become naturalized.
