These delightful bulbs have
little bright blue, star shaped flowers and grass like leaves. They start
blooming shortly after crocuses, which is handy, because the two look good
together. They’re a good bulb for cool climates and are hardy to Zone 3, but they
don’t do well south of Zone 8. Naturalize them around a tree in a rock garden,
along a woodland path, or wherever they will best be seen. Chionodoxa luciliae
grows up to six inches tall and is typically blue with a white center, but “Alba”
is white, “Rosea” is lavender pink and the larger flowered “Gigantea” can be
blue, purple or pink. Sardensis is dark blue without the white eyes.
"How to Grow Glory of Snow Flower"
Full
sun is best, but glory of the snow will take part shade and in warm areas
actually prefers filtered shade. Plant in early fall about two to three inches
apart and three inches deep a bit deeper in warm climates. They like a soil
that is rich, moist but well drained and lightened with organic matter.Source: Charismatic Planet
