Chionodoxa luciliae (Gigantea) 5/+

Compact, vivid blue flowers with white centres. Early spring bloom, ideal for lawns, rockeries, and naturalising under trees. Hardy and low-maintenance.

Description

Chionodoxa luciliae, known as Glory of the Snow, is a classic early-spring bulb featuring star-shaped blue flowers with white eyes. Flowering from February onwards, it’s among the first colour sources for pollinators and offers landscapers a compact, easy-to-naturalise solution for underplanting, alpine schemes, or lawn scatter planting.

This species thrives in full sun or partial shade and returns reliably year after year, multiplying gradually with no intervention. Ideal for light soils, low borders, and public space naturalising. Works well alongside snowdrops, crocus, or other Chionodoxa species in succession planting.

A time-tested choice for those designing wildlife-friendly spring schemes or low-maintenance public displays.
