<P> The flowers have six white tepals ( rarely pink ) , fused at the base to form a bell - shape , 5 -- 10 mm diameter , and sweetly scented ; flowering is in late spring , in mild winters in the Northern Hemisphere it is in early March . The fruit is a small orange - red berry 5 -- 7 mm diameter that contains a few large whitish to brownish colored seeds that dry to a clear translucent round bead 1 -- 3 mm wide . Plants are self - sterile , and colonies consisting of a single clone do not set seed . </P>
