    • Why we like this plant

      Chionodoxa 'Forbesii' carries a quiet beauty that feels perfectly suited to informal, cottage-style gardens. Its modest stature and gentle colour make it ideal for weaving through grassy areas or alongside other early bulbs such as crocus and miniature daffodils. The contrast of its white centre adds a crisp brightness, giving the appearance of tiny stars scattered across the soil. Over time, it softly spreads, offering a delightful carpet of colour that signals the very first stirrings of spring.

    Planting guide

    Plant bulbs in autumn, 5 to 8 cm deep and 5 to 8 cm apart, in well-drained soil with full sun or light shade.

    Care tips

    Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to nourish the bulb. Established clumps can be left undisturbed for several years to multiply gently.
