Nothoscordum

Nothoscordum, a genus of South American bulbous plants of the family Amaryllidaceae, comprises species with whitish, bell-shaped flowers, grouped in scented umbels with a hint of lily, borne on an upright stem from mid-spring to early summer. Some species have naturalised outside their native range, in North America as well as in the Old World. The genus is taxonomically closely related to Ipheion and Tristagma, with which several species have alternately been classified. Grow in well-drained soil, sunny to half-shaded position, flowering readily in a temperate climate.
