Giant snowflakes, summer snowflakes or leucojum . . . whatever you know them as, these are simply terrific plants for naturalizing, for easy care spring flowers and for adding a decorator's touch to your garden.

Looking like the work of a top fashion designer, the sparkling white flower bells of giant snowflakes are festooned with pronounced green dots. These distinctive markings make leucojum easily recognizable, although in most parts of the country the plants are hard to find. Given their forgiving nature and ability to thrive in heat and cold, moist and dry conditions, it's difficult to understand why they aren't grown in every garden in America.
