[IBC] Scilla?

I am trying to hunt down info on an accent plant that was sold to a friend
and
I as Scilla.
I have "Scilla violacea [Exotica 3, page 1111) (Liliaceae) (So. Africa)
small suckering bulbous plant with swollen base, attractive because of its
variegated foliage; strap like fleshy leaves olive green with silver blotching and
banding, glossy wine red beneath; small green and blue flowers on slender
racemes: in winter."
I use it as a companion plant for Bonsai.
I don't think it is invasive here in Florida, because I don't think this
variety is cold hardy even to our occasional freeze.
