These grow in my garden in a little border which is dry & gets full sun most of the day. They leaf up in spring (snails love that) then die down, so clear foliage, then roughly August up pops a (naked stem) with a bud, & "watch them grow". Hence Naked Ladies

The leaves grow to the same height as the Agapanthus (green leaves in photo) It's not so much the snails eat the leaves, they hide underneath & eat everything else. Putting photo on of leaves today.

I was looking out for your photo after your comment on Aleyna's picture.
So are these the same habit as Colchium, but taller ?
If the snails eat the leaves, do the flowers still appear later ?
