Make your garden sparkle next spring with pretty swathes of this glistening amethyst charmer, Chionodoxa lucilia 'Violet Beauty'. You may have seen the traditional blue of white Chionodoxas before, but the unusual mauve colouring of this gorgeous variety introduces a fresh new look to the spring classic, also known as Violet Glory of the Snow.

Flowering effortlessly with glimmering star-shaped blooms, it’s hard to go wrong with these unfussy little plants. They’re super tough and will put on a lovely jewel-like show virtually anywhere, be it in sun or under trees, whether you have large borders, grassy areas a rockery or just some pots to fill – they’ll be happy to just be there and do their thing. Low growing, perennial and repeating every year, all you need to do is plant the Chionodoxa lucilia 'Violet Beauty' bulbs once and look forward to seeing their cheery faces every spring!
