LEUCOJUM AESTIVUM GRAVETYE GIANT

Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant', also known as the summer snowflake, is quite striking. I grew them for the first time this year and they achieved a height of about 30cm at most. Information from the RHS states they can grow as much as 90cm.  They are like big snowdrops with little yellow/green dots at the tips of the petals. I have grown them in a container of multi-purpose compost with John Innes, in a fairly sunny spot, west facing where it gets the sun most of the day. The RHS states they are very hardy, (H7), right down to a low of -20c, and prefer moist but well drained conditions, any aspect, and any type of soil.
