Hoy, I cannot tell you of the hardiness of this Leucojum but Iīm afraid it must not tolerate too cold temperatures. It grows almost at sea level in quite warm zones (zone 10 and 9), so maybe bulb will get too damaged if exposed to extra cold. Anyway, this is a rare endemic spanish plant, with a very reduced distribution range so I donīt think you could find it in nurseries. I didnīt even dare to unroot a bulb to take pictures of it for the study being afraid of damaging it, and seeds where sown beside the mother plant after pictures where taken, expecting better population next year...
Hoy, would you like to try Urginea undulata subsp. caeculii? Though it comes from more or less the same places, maybe if you can provide important coverage in winter... Though flowers are not too showy, its wavy leaves well deserves a place. I have a bunch of wild collected seeds, as I arrived late to this yearīs seed exchange. If so, let me know. Picture is from plants beggining their development in autum, so the wavy margin is not clearly seen yet.
