Summer snowflake

£6.95

The Summer snowflake is a perennial bulb which produces lovely white bell-shaped flowers. Plant in full sun or semi-shade and it will look great as part of a cottage garden border or in a container. The white flowers will also work well with other Spring bulbs, such as Wild daffodil.  Ideal to plant in groups which over time will give natural-looking drifts of wildflowers.
The snowflake will grow in a damp site so alternatively plant on a stream bank or pond edge and as it produces small offsets when dormant over the summer, it will gradually spread.

1 litre pots with 3 bulbs per pot
