The Cilica snowdrop is a perennial herbaceous plant that reaches heights of 10 to 18 centimeters. This geophyte forms an onion as a persistence organ. The leaves measure 11 to 15 × 0.5 to 0.7 centimeters at flowering time (7). The outer bracts measure 1.8 to 2.2 × 0.6 to 1 centimeters, the inner 0.9 to 1.1 × 0.4 centimeters.
The flowering period extends from November to January.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 24, rarely 36.

use
The Cilizian snowdrop is cultivated as an ornamental plant at most as a hobby plant. It's been in culture since around 1990.
ingredients
A phytochemical investigation of Galanthus cilicicus revealed 20 alkaloids . Haemanthamine and tazettin were the main alkaloids in the above-ground parts of the plant, while galanthamine and tazettin were in the underground parts .
Synonyms
The synonym Galanthus nivalis subsp. Is sometimes used for Galanthus cilicicus . cilicicus (Baker) Gottl.-Tann. used, but there is no closer relationship to Galanthus nivalis .
