Chionodoxa Luciliae Flower Bulbs produce masses of star-shaped gentian-blue flowers above fresh green foliage, creating one of the earliest colourful displays of the gardening year. Commonly known as glory of the snow, they are particularly effective when allowed to spread naturally through informal planting.

Supplied as a pack of 40 bulbs, plants reach around 15cm (6in) and flower from February to March. They are ideal for borders, lawns, rockeries and patio containers and provide useful early flowers for pollinators. Plant from September to November in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.

Bulb size: 5/6
Bulb sizes are measured by circumference in centimetres. A 5/6 bulb measures approximately 5-6cm around. Larger bulbs generally contain more stored energy, helping to support strong growth and an impressive flowering display.

About our Bulbs
We work very closely with our growers to ensure we offer the very best, top sized bulbs which will provide you with a glorious autumn show. All of the bulbs we offer have been trialled and tested, either on our own trials ground, here in Suffolk, or on those of our growers, who we work with to ensure we offer the best range for British gardens.
