Bulb globose with a few compressed scales covered by a thin, transparent tunic (outer coating). The flowering stem (peduncle) is 12-30 cm long and bears 4-6 linear, glaucous leaves. There is usually one pendent flower per peduncle. The perianth (petals and sepals) is very broadly (square-shouldered) bell-shaped, comprising purple, pink or white segments with a characteristic chequered purple pattern (although a white form also occurs). The green nectaries are towards the base of the inner perianth segment surfaces, and measure approximately 7-10 x 1.5 mm. The filaments are 10-13 mm long and are covered with short, rounded projections. The style is 13-16 mm long and is three-cleft, with branches 2-5 mm long. The fruit is an erect, flat-topped, 6-angled capsule (a dry and dehiscent fruit composed of more than one carpel). Flowers from late March to April.
