Leucojumi_Gravetye Giant
Leucojum_Gravetye Giant, also known as Summer Snowflake, is a bulbous perennial that originates from central Europe and the Mediterranean. Its beautiful white, bell-shaped flowers bloom in mid-spring (April to May) on arching, hollow stems. This plant creates a distinct clump of glossy, dark green, strap-shaped leaves that add to its unique appearance. To ensure its longevity, plant the bulbs in the fall in well-drained soil, 3 to 4 inches deep, in an area that receives full sun to part shade. With its proven hardiness and longevity in Chicago-area gardens, this plant is often found as an indicator of abandoned homesteads.
