Summer Snowflake (Leucojum aestivum): Late Spring White Bells

Summer Snowflake (Leucojum aestivum), also called Snowbell or Dewdrop, bears graceful, nodding, white bell-shaped flowers with green tips on each petal, dangling from arching stems in late spring. Taller and later-blooming than its spring cousin, it naturalizes beautifully in moist, partially shaded areas, forming elegant colonies. Deer-resistant and long-lived.
