Water sparingly once the foliage begins to yellow and die back after flowering. Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot. During the dormant summer period, keep the soil dry.

Resume light watering in autumn as new growth appears.

Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation if desired, though this is not strictly necessary. Allow foliage to die back naturally; this replenishes the bulb for the following year's bloom.

Remove dead or yellowing leaves only after they have completely withered.

Spring Squill is best propagated by dividing established clumps after the foliage has died back in summer. Alternatively, sow fresh seeds in autumn.

Bulblets that form around the parent bulb can also be separated and replanted.

Repotting is rarely necessary for Scilla verna. If plants become overcrowded or bulbs are growing too close together, divide them during their summer dormancy.

Replant the divisions at the same depth as before in well-draining soil.
