Description
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 woodland flowers such as Dog violets or English bluebells. Ideal to plant in groups which with 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. Our pots have 3 bulbs per pot.
