Makes strong clumps of bulbs, often mistaken for a snowdrop, since it flowers at much the same time, but it has lampshade-like bells, made up of six pointed petals held open wide, showing green tips. It carries two flowers per stem, above lush, strap-shaped leaves. It differs from L. vernum in being larger and more robust.
Our snowflakes and snowdrops are dispatched 'in the green', ie dug straight from the garden, in growth and carefully wrapped. Check your delivered parcel for plants in a roll of corrugated cardboard.
