Chionodoxa forbesi ‘Glory of the Snow'

Chionodoxa forbesii or Glory of the Snow covers the ground in early spring with a carpet of brilliant blue or pink flowers with a central white eye. The flowers often appear just as the snow disappears, and have been known to bloom through the snow. Chionodoxa is extremely easy to grown and self seeds readily, so clumps often grown to cover large areas. The leaves are small and do not interfere with the flowers, or crowd out neighboring plants.
