Description
The available Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant' is a large flowered clone. The up to six nodding bell-shaped and bright white flowers have very distinctive pale green spots at the end of the sepals. This plant that flowers in May-June prefers moist, rich soil, for example, for example around ponds. 'Gravetye' is the name of the garden of plant lover William Robinson, Sussex, England.
BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF AMARYLLIDACEAE
Derived from the Greek word leucoeion, which means 'white eyes'. This name was used by Hippocrates. This genus is closely related to Galanthus. The main difference lies in the length of the sepals. In Leucojum, they are of equal length.
