Leucojum vernum, commonly called the spring snowflake, St. Agnes' flower (for the patron saint of virgins), and rarely snowbell, is native to central and southern Europe from Belgium to Ukraine, and is naturalized in north-western Europe, including Great Britain and parts of Scandinavia, and in the United States. This spring flowering bulbous herbaceous perennial is cultivated as an ornamental. The plant multiplies in favourable conditions to form clumps. Each plant bears a single white flower with greenish marks near the tip of the tepal, on a stem about 10-20 cm (3.9-7.9") tall, occasionally more.

Leucojum vernum is cultivated as an ornamental plant for its white flowers in spring. It is described as "easy to grow", either in sun or partial shade, particularly in moist soil and in grass. The species has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
