They form clumps of narrow, linear, radical leaves and produce attractive, small, lily-like white flowers in racemes or panicles on slender stems, mainly in spring or summer, followed by decorative brown capsular fruits. They are ideal for a herbaceous border, or for naturalizing in grass; also excellent for cutting.
