Silver Squill

Silver Squill (Ledebouria socialis) is native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This low-growing succulent produces teardrop-shaped bulbs, usually above ground, and lance-shaped, somewhat spreading leaves. The upper surfaces of the leaves are silvery with green to brown blotches, while the undersides often have deep pink or violet tones. From late winter to spring, the plant produces 10 to 30 small bell-shaped flowers on delicate pink stalks just above the foliage.
