ŚNIEŻYCA WIOSENNA

Spring snowflake - Leucojum vernum

This bulb plant - possibly native in a very few areas - is very similar to summer snowflake Leucojum aestivum but with solitary scented flowers which drop pollen on the slightest impact. Like the snowdrop, both snowflake species are members of the lily family. The flowers are pollinated by bees.

Spring snowflake has a delicate and bell-like, white flower with a green spot on each petal. These single flowers terminate the long bright green stems and are produced from February to April. Try it on moist ground in semi-shade. This is a good early source of nectar and pollen for bees.
