Leucocoryne is being evaluated as an early spring cut flower.

These long-lasting flowers are beautiful with fresh colors and a pleasing fragrance.
The effect of bulb weight on the growth and flowering of L. coquimbensis was investigated.
Though 0.1 – 0.2 g bulbs emerged and flowered, bulbs larger than 0.3 g produced more cut flower stems that were longer and heavier.
During one growing season, 0.1 – 0.2 g bulbs grew to larger than 1.0 g, which can produce high quality cut flowers in the subsequent season.
As bulb weight increased, the rate of bulb enlargement decreased.
