Flower bulbs are generally planted in the fall in colder climates. The bulbs go dormant in the winter but they continue to absorb water and nutrients from the soil and they develop roots. [2] Most bulbs produce perennial flowers. Occasionally certain bulbs become crowded in the ground and they must be removed and separated.

Each stem produces an umbel inflorescence of 4–19 flowers during winter and spring. [7] The tepals are 10–18 mm (13 ⁄ 32 – 23 ⁄ 32 in) long and white, but with a "strong green line". [8] Each plant has two or three narrow, linear leaves, each up to 15 cm (6 in) long. [7] The leaves have a distinct onion smell when crushed.

Asterids are a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, composed of 17 orders and more than 80,000 species, about a third of the total flowering plant species. [2] [3] The asterids are divided into the unranked clades lamiids (8 orders) and campanulids (7 orders), and the single orders Cornales and Ericales.
