Spring snowflake
Leucojum vernum
Spring snowflake is a charming early-blooming bulb that naturalizes well in woodland gardens and shaded borders, producing delicate white bell-shaped flowers in late winter to early spring. Plant bulbs in autumn in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil and allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering. It requires little care once established and will spread reliably year after year.
