Hi Paul: Both forms of Leucojum autumnale come from different regions of the Mediterranean. It is the environment that prompted them to behave that way (lack of water I mean). I grow both forms and they behave exactly as described but during summer both go to sleep and have no leaves at all. This despite the fact that they are in the open in a raised bed and receive our year round rains. I really wish they would invade my beds like Jane's! They grow well here but are not invasive.
