Description:

Sea squill is a bulb which sends up a tall stalk topped by an inflorescence of small white flowers, followed by a rosette of large dull green leaves, that last until the following summer. The bulb can get quite large, reaching over five pounds in weight.

Habitat:

This squill is native to coastal regions of the Mediterranean in sandy soil, but it is widely cultivated.
