Growing and Maintenance Tips for Leucojum 'Gravetye Giant'

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 5 to 8 cm (2–3 inches) deep and 8 to 10 cm (3–4 inches) apart. Choose a shady or lightly shaded spot—beneath deciduous trees is ideal.
Location: Partial shade to full sun. Performs best in moist, lightly shaded woodland-style settings.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Tolerates heavier soils better than many bulbs.
Watering: Keep soil moist during active growth in spring. Reduce watering after foliage yellows—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 5–9. Cold-tolerant and long-lived once established.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring as shoots emerge.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage tidiness. Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets. Divide clumps every 5 to 7 years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Deer- and rabbit-resistant. Avoid soggy soils to prevent rot.
