Ledebouria, also known as silver squill, is a colorful houseplant with attractive, lance-shaped leaves heavily mottled in silver and green. The undersides of the leaves have a purplish hue and the foliage emerges from teardrop-shaped bulbs that sit above the growing medium. Gardeners love ledebouria because it’s compact and thrives in average room temperatures with minimal watering. This plant isn’t just grown for its decorative foliage however, as it also produces airy inflorescences with several dozen small flowers. The individual blooms may be diminutive in size, but the flower spikes grow 10 to 11 inches long and add spring color to indoor spaces.
