A white star like flower in Apr-May following early foliage. Wild in grassy places from Northern Europe to the Holy Land where the bulbs were used as food by pilgrims, this is native in Britain, only in Eastern England. It naturalises well in open sites in most soils and is especially suited to growing through grass.
