Synonym(s) Leucojum autumnale Common name autumn snowflake Family amaryllidaceae Life cycle perennial bulb (Z6-9) Flowers white (late summer-fall) Size 6-12" Light sun-part shade From seed germinate at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below This was a pleasant surprise one late-summer day while weeding a neglected corner of the garden - a single autumn snowflake, in tiny but glorious bloom. I had grown the species from seed a few years ago, and assumed the seedlings had not survived winter. Apparently, just one did. Not much in the way of impact, but a high cuteness factor. I transplanted it to the rock garden, where it may or may not survive (it is marginally hardy in zone 6, and the rock garden is not mulched).

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: orchard nursery area
