Chionodoxa Plant

At the end of April, I was walking in the forest near the shore of the bay. The forest there is stony, in places flat, in places hilly. In several places under the trees I saw blue "lakes". These were bright flowers that surprised me with their freshness on the still dry grass. Probably, many of you have already understood that I am talking about Chionodoxa.

Chionodoxa, commonly known as snow glory, blooms in very early spring. These hardy, carefree bulbs are great for your garden. Planted under trees or shrubs, or even right in your lawn, they will easily reproduce and spread the ripples of early spring throughout the landscape. Star-shaped flowers can be sky blue, lavender, pink or white.

Chionodoxa bulbs grow in full sun or where the sun shines for at least half a day in early spring - before the trees bloom. They are hardy in growing zones 4-9.

If you love Chionodoxa, plant it where you can easily enjoy its cheerful colors. Near the path through the garden or on the way to the front door. If you have a rock garden, Chionodoxa will provide a splash of early spring among stone crops and succulents.
Chionodoxa are ideal for woodland gardens, where their natural beauty blends seamlessly with other spring bulbs and perennials. In shady gardens, they make good companions for small perennials.

Their perky flowers bloom before the grass begins to turn green, and the foliage usually dies off by the time the lawn needs to be mowed. This plants grow in my garden under the bushes of Physocarpus.

That's all for now. Take care.
