Scilla × allenii is a hybrid squill from the bulbous Scilla genus, grown for its early spring blue to violet flowers. It grows from bulbs and is easy to establish in cool, well-drained garden beds.
Scilla × allenii is a hybrid between two species of flowering plants, both of which are now placed in the genus Scilla. One of the parents is Scilla bifolia. As of March 2020, sources differ as to the identity of the other, which may be either Scilla forbesii (syn. S. siehei) or Scilla luciliae.
The original hybrid was discovered in cultivation in England. Spontaneous occurrence has been reported on the Nif Mountain in İzmir Province, Turkey.
