Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa forbesii): Early Blue Star Carpets

Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa forbesii, syn. C. siehei) is one of the earliest spring bulbs, often blooming through melting snow. It forms carpets of upward-facing, star-shaped, soft blue flowers with white centers. Its foliage is narrow and goes dormant by late spring. Perfect for naturalizing in lawns, under trees, and in rock gardens. Deer-resistant.
