Product Description

Chionodoxa Forbesii is a beautiful flower, often referred to as Glory of the Snow. Will produce bright blue star shape flowers, with white centres. Closely related to Scilla, Chionodoxa are an excellent choice for rockeries or for borders, and can be left tonaturalise over time. They will establish quickly and will flower in March – April, producing a breath-taking carpet of blue to rival the later flowering English bluebells. 4cm+ Bulbs supplied.

Growing at a glance…

Plant Chionodoxa bulbs 5cm deep and 5cm apart. As the bulbs are so small, plant en-masse for a floriferous effect! Position in well-drained soil and ensure they will receive plenty of sunlight once in bloom. Can be grown in any bed, border, or container for an early season display.
