Silver Squill plants are not very demanding, yet they thank their handler with beautiful foliage. These evergreen, low-growing houseplants don't take up much space and can grow indoors and in the gardens. However, cat owners and people with kids should be cautious before adding Silver Squill to their plant collection, as these green beauties are toxic.
Silver Squill (Ledebouria socialis) comes from the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa, where its bushes grow in drying river floodplains or on the sunny plains. This perennial is the most common species of the scilla genus in the family Asparagaceae. The coloring of its oblong blotched or striped foliage can include shades of green, silver, and burgundy.
