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

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 ?

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.
