Puschkinia General Information

Puschkinia are best naturalized in drifts. Lovely in rock gardens, along walkways, in open woodland areas, meadows, and in front of shrubs or under deciduous trees. Attractive filler with other spring-flowering bulbs.

Puschkinia Plant Care

Foliage will go dormant by late spring. Foliage should not be removed or mowed until it is spent to promote bulb strength. Interested in forcing bulbs? Visit our Useful Links page.
