FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I plant Leucojum bulbs now in the UK?

Leucojum bulbs are planted in autumn, usually from September to November, for flowers in spring. Plant them as soon as possible after delivery, around 8 to 10cm deep, in soil that stays reliably moist.

Are Leucojum and snowdrops the same thing?

No. Leucojum is commonly called snowflake and is closely related to the snowdrop, but it is a different plant. Snowflakes are usually taller, with bell-shaped white flowers marked with green at the tip of each petal.

Where is the best place to plant Leucojum bulbs?

Leucojum grows best in humus-rich soil that stays moist but does not become waterlogged. It is ideal for damp borders, woodland edges, meadow planting and the upper banks of ponds, in full sun or partial shade.

Why have my Leucojum bulbs not flowered?

Leucojum can flower poorly if the bulbs dry out after planting, are planted too shallowly or are growing in very dry soil. Plant them at the correct depth and leave the foliage in place after flowering so the bulbs can build energy for the following year.

Do Leucojum bulbs spread and come back every year?

Yes. Leucojum is a hardy perennial bulb that returns each spring and gradually forms larger clumps when left undisturbed. It is a good choice for naturalising in grass or informal borders, provided the soil does not dry out.
