| The Glory of the Snow 'Alba' '(white)', 'Chionodoxa luciliae', a fall planted bulb, produce masses of open, star-shaped white flowers. Chionodoxa is often called Glory of the Snow because they peep into bloom sometimes before the snow has completely disappeared. The star-shaped flowers are very strong and native to Asia Minor, Crete and Cyprus. Allow foliage to die back naturally to make these bulbs last for years. Naturalizes by reseeding, which it does readily, especially in a humus-rich soil. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant. |
