The Royal Horticulture Society's Manual of Bulbs describes L. cernuum as having color ranging from pink to lilac and light purple and sometimes white. It may be lightly spotted. It is native to areas in Korea and Manchuria. There is a white form in commerce that is sold as L. cernuum var. album (not an accepted name). Some believe that it is not a color form of L. cernuum at all but rather a form of L. pumilum. The jury is still out on this one.
