Scientific Name:
Leucojum vernum

Family:
Spring Snowflake

Family:
Amaryllidaceae

Description:
Like all bulbs, the persistent foliage of Spring Snowflake needs to be allowed to senesce normally before its removal, as the photosynthate it produces and translocates to the underground storage organ is the food for next year's flowers.
