Leucojum

Leucojum vernum Podpolozje

This combines the yellow-tipped habit of carpathicum with the robust stature and twin-flowered habit of vagneri, the best of both worlds.

Be warned that it can revert to green after replanting and in soils high in Magnesium it may stay green. It is also a characteristic of this plant that now and again, the two flowers, on one plant, can be different shades of yellow or even yellow and green.

A superb plant for a damp, well-drained spot in light shade. Avoid growing it in direct sunshine where narcissus fly will soon find it, indeed this applies to all vernum forms and other large Leucojum as well as Narcissus. The females lay more in sunlight and less in shade. Its not an infallible rule, but a helpful trend with regard to choosing your planting site.

Leucojum vernum vagneri

A robust cultivar which carries two or more (green-tipped) flowers per scape (usually only one in vernum).

As well as larger, more robust growths, this also has larger flowers. It does well in the garden, in a humus enriched soil in light shade and makes a nice, well-mannered clump in a reasonable time.
