This bulb dies back after flowering each year and enters a period of rest ahead of regrowth the following season.

  • Position: partial to shade
  • Soil: fertile, humus-rich, freely draining soil that does not dry out
  • Rate of growth: fast
  • Flowering period: March to April
  • Hardiness: fully hardy
  • Bulb size: 1

    These look wonderful when allowed to form naturalistic drifts in a woodland setting, and as they are reasonably vigorous in nature, they are also one of the easiest to grow. Their leaves, which form a basal clump, are softly marbled, and it is from amongst these that the slender stems rise up in spring, each bearing up to 3 nodding white flowers. These are made up of strongly recurved and pointed tepals (petals), that surround a prominent cluster of white stamens. 'White Beauty' is a truly elegant plant in every way.

  • Garden care: Try to avoid planting under shrubs or trees that will soak up all the soil moisture in the summer.
  • Humans/Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
