They are hardy in zones 4-8. The plant's mature height varies depending on the type of Leucojum; L. vernum grows from 6 to 12 inches, while L. aestivum extends from 12 to 18 inches. The pH of the soil should be between 6.1 to 7.8. The soil should also be rich, loose, and easy to crumble.

When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them.

Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown.
