Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant'

Giant Snowflake

Leucojum bulbs are also known as Summer Snowflake.  Leucojum bulbs feature clusters of 3 to 6 pendulous, white, bell-shaped flowers with lovely green dots; which dangle from long, fairly sturdy stems.  Leucojum bulbs are great for borders, containers, near a pond and naturalizing.  Leucojum bulbs are about 12 inches tall.  Leucojum bulbs prefer moist locations.  Leucojum bulbs will flower late in the season.      

	Leucojum bulbs are great for borders, containers, near a pond and naturalizing
	We supply top sized Leucojum bulbs (8/10)
	Leucojum bulbs perform best in full sun but will tolerate some shade
	Leucojum bulbs dislike wetness (wet feet) and require well-drained soil
	Fertilize Leucojum bulbs when the foliage pushes through the soil in spring. We recommend a general low-nitrogen fertilizer, like Holland Bulb Booster.
	When planting Leucojum bulbs, you should always place the pointed end up
	Leucojum bulbs should be planted at a depth of double the height of the bulb

Height 20-24 Inches		Spread 1-2 Inches
		Interesting Notes Summer snowflakes require a rich, sandy, moist soil. The bulbs can remain planted in the same location year after year. If left undisturbed, they multiply rapidly and produce more and more flowers. Water during the growing season.
