SCILLA SIBERICA 'SPRING BEAUTY'

In the RHS Gardens Alpine House at Harlow Carr today, Scilla siberica 'Spring Beauty' really caught my attention. There are not so many vibrant blues flowers that we see in our gardens (compared with the number of pink flowers we see) and I had never seen this one before.  Scilla siberica 'Spring Beauty' is a hardy bulb (H5), grows to about 15-30cm (3-6in) high and can be planted in full or partial shade, all types of soil that are well-drained or moist and well-drained, all aspects.  Sounds like one for my garden.
