My L autumnale is always in leaf If you keep watering Leucojum autumnale in the summer, it will hardly have a dormant season at all. Gardens in this area where it is watered have it in full bloom today, but those that are infesting my bulb frame (it is invasive) are neither in leaf nor in flower, though they have "live" roots.
