The robust Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant' has much larger flowers than the species. It looks like a giant Lily-of-the-Valley. Smashing with Narcissus and midseason to late Tulips of every hue you can imagine. This heirloom bulb variety was introduced by William Robinson, the influential 19th-century Irish garden writer who spurned Victorian bedding schemes and pioneered a more natural style of gardening at his home, Gravetye Manor.
We favor this species of Snowflakes (Leucojum aestivum). The leaves look like those of Daffodils, as well they should, since they belong to the same family and are also deer resistant. Snowflakes are reasonably moisture tolerant but also thrive in ordinary garden soil, naturalizing in either situation. Plant them with Ferns or white Narcissus.
