One of the earliest and loveliest spring flowering bulbs, Chionodoxa luciliae (Glory of the Snow) โAlbaโ is a bulbous perennial boasting loose one-sided racemes of up to 8 upward-facing, large pure white flowers with a spread measuring approximately 10โ across. Blooming in the early spring (Mar-Apr), โAlbaโsโ charming blossoms are borne atop the foliage of 2 - 3 narrow, semi-erect, basal leaves. In the fall (Sept-Dec), plant the bulbs in well-draining soil, under full sun or partial shade. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 2โ while leaving 3โ of space between bulbs. An easy-to-grow variety that naturalizes well once established. โAlbaโ is resistant to deer and other critters while also being disease tolerant. Works best planted in sweeping drifts in woodlands, lawns, or under deciduous trees. Also looks great as clusters in rock gardens.
