Leucojum

Leucojum - Summer Snowflake

Leucojum is a bulbous perennial which resembles Galanthus (Snowdrop), but slightly larger and flowers later. Leucojum likes a moist soil, for instance near the pond. After flowering Leucojum disappears underground till the next spring. Planted as bulbs they sometimes struggle to establish. This is why we sell them rooted in pots. It may take a couple of years before Leucojum forms a small clump, but once established it will slowly spread. Leucojum looks good planted together with Dodecatheon and Fritillaria meleagris.
