Leucojum 'Snowflake' are excellent for use in a border, near water or naturalized in grass. They tolerate very moist conditions and quite a bit of shade. Also known as the 'Southern Snowdrop' they make a great substitue for Galanthus in the South. They don't like to be moved, and flower anytime from Early Spring to Late Spring.
