SPRING SNOWFLAKE
SKU: 2275-005
Leucojum vernum, commonly called the spring snowflake, St. Agnes' flower (for the patron saint of virgins), and rarely snowbell, is native to central and southern Europe from Belgium to Ukraine, and is naturalized in north-western Europe, including Great Britain and parts of Scandinavia, and in the United States. This spring flowering bulbous herbaceous perennial is cultivated as an ornamental. The plant multiplies in favourable conditions to form clumps.
