This introduced plant generally flowers just before Galanthus nivalis (Snowdrops) and is arguably the first true Spring flower of the year. Wherever you find it, it has probably escaped from a garden or cemetery but it is well naturalised, typically in shady or wooded areas dotted around the country.
