Star-of-Bethlehem is an attractive ornamental but has escaped and is often found in large patches. The leaves resemble wild garlic but the bulb has no odor. The early spring flower is quite pretty but the bulb is poisonous and has caused the death of animals and children. Frost heaving brings the bulb to the surface.
