From amongst the basal rosette of rich green foliage, pretty green-budded flowerspikes emerge in mid-spring, opening from the base to scented small white flowers. Less vigorous than M. armeniacum, it makes a lovely addition to the alpine garden or rockery, and looks great in a pot filled with mixed seasonal colour. - Garden care: Plant 10cm (4in) deep in naturalistic groups in autumn. During summer when the bulbs are dormant lift and divide groups that are becoming congested.
- Humans/Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
