It's time to start thinking about buying spring bulbs for fall planting, so I thought I would do a series of posts featuring some of the more unusual possibilities. Image from the free digital archives of the New York Public Library. Leucojum is native to Western Asia and Europe, where they are found in damp woodlands and along streams. There are two main species of Leucojum. Spring Snowflakes, Leucojum vernum usually bloom a few weeks after Snowdrops and go dormant in summer. Contrary to what the common name suggests, Summer Snowflakes, Leucojum aestivum bloom mid-spring. Leucojum form a vase-shaped clump of long, narrow, dark green leaves. Their arching stems carry nodding, bell-shaped flowers with a little dash of green or yellow at the end of each tepal. These tiny, white bells have a light fragrance. Leucojum like full sun to part-shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Plant them anywhere you might plant ferns, daffodils or narcissus. Leucojum will tolerate some dryness during the summer, but in the spring period of growth and bloom, they need consistent moisture. If there is less than 2" of rainfall in any given week during that time, it a good idea to give them a deep watering. To assist Leucojum with getting through the dry summer months, mulch them with some compost to keep the soil moist and cool. Leucojum are deer and rabbit resistant. Pesky squirrels don't like them either. Leucojum and white daffodils planted in a row under some Crabapple trees at the Toronto Botanical Gardens. White daffodils at the Toronto Botanical Gardens. Planting Plant Leucojum bulbs 3-4" deep and 4-6" apart. You'll find that a single or small group of bulbs won't be impressive. It's better to plant Leucojum in groups of a dozen or more bulbs. Once established in the ground, they prefer not to be moved or disturbed. Naturalized in large drifts they can look spectacular.

The perennial hosta comes in many varieties, and is a shade garden favorite because of its beautiful foliage and elegant flowers.

Winter Aconite like to bloom in the sunshine. They don't mind the cold though. These small woodland plants are early risers that often peek up from under a light covering of snow. To take advantage of the bare limbs of the trees above, they rush to flower. Like crocus, the cup-shaped flowers face upward, opening into the sunlight. By the time the tree canopy opens fully casting them into the shade, the flowers have already done their job. The bees have come and gone pollinating the tiny yellow flowers. Little green seed pods begin to appear among the dying foliage. Having set seed, Winter Aconite slips quietly back into dormancy. Members of the buttercup family, Winter Aconite, Eranthis hyemalis are native to the deciduous woodlands of the Balkans, Italy and southern France. Short, reddish-brown stems propel the flowers above any snow or leaf litter. Each yellow flower has a fringe of leaf-like bracts. Lobed green leaves emerge to replace the spent flowers. Winter Aconite scattered in a lawn. Planting To mimic the natural habitat of Winter Aconite, plant them under deciduous trees or shrubs. One of my neighbours also has them scattered through his lawn. They seem perfectly happy flowering among the fresh blades of grass each spring. A white magnolia provides them with welcome shade through the summer. Like most woodland plants, Aconite prefer humus-rich soil. Though the plants go dormant in the late spring, they like to rest in soil that is cool and moist, but well-drained. Their tubers never like to dry out completely. As with bulbs, Aconite are planted in the fall. Soak the tubers overnight in a shallow dish of water and then plant them 2-3" deep and 3" apart. Choose your location carefully. They prefer not to be moved once planted in the ground. If growing conditions are favourable, Aconite will self-seed and naturalize to form a colorful colony. Snowdrops bloom at the same time as Winter Aconites. One of my Hellebores blooming in early April. Companion Plants My camera gives me a time stamp that tells me that my Aconites were blooming on April 4th this year. On that same day, I also photographed white snowdrops, iris reticulata, purple crocus and the first of my Hellebores flowers in bloom. Any of these plants would look great paired with Winter Aconites. I can imagine a group of white hellebores with a carpet of the little yellow flowers at their feet. A more unorthodox pairing would be to mix Aconites with black hellebore– a sort of bumblebee color scheme. (Read more about Hellebores here.) Pulmonaria 'Blue Ensign' would make a nice companion plant for Winter Aconites. Pulmonaria 'Opal' has pale blue flowers. Lungwort, Pulmonaria is an early perennial that likes the same moist, shady conditions as Aconites, so I think the two plants would also be great friends. An all-blue Pulmonaria like 'Blue Ensign' or 'Opal' combined with snowdrops and Aconites would make for a classic mix of white, yellow and blue. Eranthis hyemalis are an important source of pollen for hungry bees that have been waiting all winter for warmer weather. For me, Winter Aconites are a welcome sign that spring has finally arrived. They're a cheerful sight that always lifts the spirits after a long winter. Bookmark this post with a PIN.

Glowing in the sunny border, Cistus creticus ssp. incanus (Pink Rock Rose) is a bushy evergreen shrub with flamboyant, deep pink flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), adorned with orange stamens. Although each flower lasts only for a day, this vigorous shrub provides a succession of flowers for weeks in late spring with reblooms throughout the summer. The blossoms are borne atop a low-growing, dense mound of wavy-edged, gray-green leaves. Extremely heat-hardy, Pink Rock Rose stands also among the hardiest of all Rock Roses, tolerating temperatures down to 10-15°F (-12 to -9°C), provided the chilly periods are not extended. This tough little Cistus tolerates salt spray, wind, and extreme drought conditions, making it an excellent addition to seaside gardens.
