Leucojum vernum
Leucojum vernum has pure white, pendulous bells with a green ovary and a green spot on each petal in early spring.
Spring snowflake (Leucojum vernum) produces lush, green foliage and angled straight stems that hold pendulous pure white bells. The green ovary and the green spots on each petal are attractive. Spring snowflake blooms a few weeks after the snowdrops (Galanthus) helping to continue the spring show until later bulbs get underway. A good early nectar source for bees.
