The white squill, also called Merzwibolle, only grows leaves in autumn when there is enough water. The bulb can reach more than 15 centimeters in diameter and weigh up to 3 kilograms.

The squill (poisonous plant!) is found throughout the Mediterranean region and grows there in sandy coastal regions and on dry, rocky slopes near the coast, less frequently on rocky areas or in olive groves inland. Extensive karyological and morphological studies have shown that the squill is a collective species with at least 6 species. The medicinally used squill, Drimia maritima s.str. (sensu stricto - in the narrower sense), is hexaploid and forms a greenish-white bulb.
