These look wonderful when allowed to form naturalistic drifts in a woodland setting, and as they are reasonably vigorous in nature, they are also one of the easiest to grow. Their leaves, which form a basal clump, are softly marbled, and it is from amongst these that the slender stems rise up in spring, each bearing up to 3 nodding white flowers. These are made up of strongly recurved and pointed tepals (petals), that surround a prominent cluster of white stamens. 'White Beauty' is a truly elegant plant in every way. - Garden care: Try to avoid planting under shrubs or trees that will soak up all the soil moisture in the summer.
- Humans/Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
