Chionodoxa Luciliae Alba
A bulbous perennial to 15cm in height, with paired, strap-shaped leaves and starry, white-centred, bright blue flowers 3cm in width, borne in clusters of 2-3 on a leafless stem..The sweet nectar hidden among the brightly coloured petals of early spring flowers can be a lifeline for hungry insects.
Some species of bee, such as honeybees meanwhile don’t hibernate, so they will become more active and start collecting nectar as soon as your spring flowers arrive. There are even some species of butterfly that will be migrating back to the UK from warmer climes, so will need plenty of nectar after their long trip
