information: "Summer Snow Flake" is a
perennial that is grown from bulbs. The bulbs should be planted
during early fall between 3" to 4" deep. Nursery grown
plants can be planted in the spring in fertile, boggy or moist
soil. Leucojum aestivum will grow well in a bright area with no
direct sunshine. During spring... its leafless stems produce bell
shaped, chocolate scented, white flowers that face downward.
