Scilla Tubergenica is a hardy perennial bulb that can be left year-round in the ground in regions with favorable climates. It is well-suited for USDA hardiness zones 3 to 8. If you reside in one of these zones and provide the necessary growing conditions, you can leave Scilla Tubergenica bulbs in the ground throughout the year. However, in colder zones where the ground freezes extensively, it is advisable to dig up the bulbs in late fall and store them in a cool, dry place until the following spring.
