This tough rockery plant bears sprays of violet starry flowers in spring and summer. Vigorous and fast growing, it is able to stand drying out once established in a wall. It will self-seed into cracks in walls and paving.
Leucojum aestivum is a perennial bulbous plant, generally 35–60 cm (14–24 in) tall, but some forms reach 90 cm (35 in). Its leaves, which are well developed at the time of flowering, are strap-shaped, 5–20 mm (0.2–0.8 in) wide, reaching to about the same height as the flowers.
The green, needle-like leaves make this plant look somewhat similar to broom plants, contributing to its "broom-like" descriptor. The flowers are small and delicate, with five bright yellow petals, typically blooming from late spring to early summer (April to July). These flowers, though short-lived, attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
