A bulbous herbaceous perennial characterized by narrow, strap-like leaves that emerge from the base, featuring a light green midrib. Its flowers, which are star-shaped and consist of six segments, bloom in clusters atop a bare stem, displaying colors ranging from white to pale yellow. In the case of O. umbellatum, the flower segments have a green stripe on their reverse side.

This plant is commonly used as a houseplant or in interior landscapes, and it thrives in flower gardens as a resilient bulb. It can also be found in disturbed areas and has become naturalized in open fields.
