About Leucojum Aestivum

Leucojum aestivum, commonly known as summer snowflake, is a graceful spring-flowering bulb valued for its elegant, nodding white blooms and easy garden performance. Each arching stem carries several bell-shaped flowers that resemble large snowdrops, with delicate green dots at the tips of each petal that add subtle detail and charm. Blooming in mid to late spring above strap-like green foliage, Leucojum aestivum brings a natural, woodland feel to garden beds, borders, and moist areas of the landscape. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is especially well suited for naturalizing, gradually forming attractive clumps that return reliably year after year. Its refined white flowers pair beautifully with other spring bulbs and provide a fresh, understated elegance to the spring garden

How to Grow Leucojum

Planting Leucojum

Plant these bulbs in fall.
If you cannot plant your bulbs right away store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
Plant them with the pointy end up in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 10 cm (4 in) deep and 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) apart.
Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Leucojum

These bulbs do best in well-drained soil.
These bulbs do best when the bulbs are left undisturbed for long periods of time. For this reason they are not recommended for containers.
These bulbs look good planted in groups at the base of trees or in wooded areas.
Plant in groups of eight or more bulbs which then appear more natural.

Leucojum Care

These bulbs are deer resistant and work great in areas where deer or rodents are a problem.
When in bloom, feel free to cut flowers for lightly scented spring bouquets. This will not hurt the plants.
The bulbs can be given an all-purpose fertilizer after flowering and given occasional liquid feeds once the leaves dies down in fall.

Winterizing Leucojum

After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
Your bulbs will rest for a few months before beginning the next growing cycle.
