Scilla- invasive perennial

(Question)

Hi, I’ve found an answer on your website that talks about how invasive Scilla is,
https://www.torontomastergardeners.ca/askagardener/eradicating-scilla/

But then another pages recommends growing it?
https://www.torontomastergardeners.ca/gardeningguides/toronto-master-gardeners-guide-to-bulbs-for-naturalizing-2/

It seems quite irresponsible to promote growing it. I just spent 8 hours pulling a bunch of it out of my garden.

(Answer)

Thank you for contacting Toronto Master Gardeners.

You are, of course, correct. Scilla is invasive. Toronto Master Gardeners do not recommend growing Scilla despite what you found on that particular page of our website.

We aim to keep information on our website up to date. We are a totally volunteer run organization, and sometimes we miss updating certain webpages in our large database.

I have brought this to the attention of our website manager, and this will be corrected as soon as possible.

Thank you for advising us of this error.
