Leucojum Aestivum Gravetye Giant Flower Bulbs produce elegant nodding white bells, each marked with a small green tip. Often compared with tall snowdrops, this vigorous summer snowflake brings a graceful, traditional feel to spring borders and naturalised planting.

Supplied as a pack of 10 bulbs, plants reach around 60cm (24in) and flower from April to May. The lightly fragrant flowers are particularly effective in cottage-style borders, beside lawns and in areas of moisture-retentive soil. Plant from September to November in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.

Bulb size: 12/14
Bulb sizes are measured by circumference in centimetres. A 12/14 bulb measures approximately 12-14cm around. Larger bulbs generally contain more stored energy, helping to support strong growth and an impressive flowering display.

About our Bulbs
We work very closely with our growers to ensure we offer the very best, top sized bulbs which will provide you with a glorious autumn show. All of the bulbs we offer have been trialled and tested, either on our own trials ground, here in Suffolk, or on those of our growers, who we work with to ensure we offer the best range for British gardens.
