A bulbous plant of the Amaryllidaceae family (APG classification: Amaryllidaceae) that is planted in the fall. It is also called giant snowdrop or lily of the valley daffodil. The bulb is 2.5-4 cm in diameter. The leaves are glossy green and slender, 30-40 cm long. From late April to early May, 4-8 bell-shaped white flowers, 1-2 cm in diameter, similar to lily of the valley, bloom downward on a 30-40 cm flower stalk. Native to the Mediterranean coast. The horticultural variety, Gravity Giant, has large, sturdy flowers. Other varieties include L. vernum L. and Acis autumnalis (L.) Sweet ( L. autumnale L.). Although Acis autumnalis is weak to cold, other varieties are cold-resistant and can be left planted for 2-3 years. Plant in September or October. They grow well in somewhat humid places.
