Chionodoxa Lucilae

Chionodoxa luciliae, commonly known as Glory-of-the-Snow, is a charming early-spring flowering bulb that produces star-shaped, sky-blue flowers with a white center. One of the first flowers to bloom as winter fades, it naturalizes well, forming carpets of color in rock gardens, borders, and woodland settings. This low-maintenance plant is easy to grow and thrives in well-drained soil, making it ideal for adding early-season interest to the garden. Chionodoxa luciliae is also a valuable source of nectar for early pollinators.
