The Glory of the Snow 'Pink Giant', 'Chionodoxa luciliae', a fall planted bulb, produce masses of open, star-shaped pink flowers. Chionodoxa is often called Glory of the Snow because they peep into bloom sometimes before the snow has completely disappeared. The star-shaped flowers are very strong. They are native to Asia Minor, Crete and Cyprus. The bulbs should be left in the ground after flowering. Naturalizes by reseeding, which it does readily, especially in a humus-rich soil. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.
