Jun 11, 2021 · Despite the name, summer snowflake bulbs (Leucojum aestivum) bloom in mid to late spring in most areas, just a couple of weeks after the spring snowflakes (Leucojum vernum). Both bulbs have grass-like foliage and dainty, fragrant drooping bells.

Leucojum aestivum is a lovely snowflake, bearing dark green leaves and wide white flowers with green markings. Grow Leucojum aestivum in moist soil in sun to partial shade. Allow to self seed naturally and let the foliage die down full after flowering.

Leucojum, also known as summer snowflake, is a carefree and adaptable spring-blooming bulb. Though the flowers and foliage are similar to snowdrops, leucojum grows at least twice as tall and blooms about two months later, usually just after the daffodils.
Leucojum autumnale (autumn snowflake) has white flowers in late summer/autumn, one or more on each stem. The grassy leaves develop after the flowers. Height to 8in (20cm). Leucojum vernum (spring snowflake) has strap-shaped green leaves, shorter at flowering time.
Each flower stem usually carries a solitary, lightly scented flower, white with green spots on its tepals, and rises above elongated, strap-shaped, glossy green leaves. Rising up to 8 – 10 inches (20 – 25 cm), this white beauty is an easy grower, naturalizes well, and will multiply over time.
