Description
In March: soft pink star-blooms that are larger than other glory-of-the-snow. Still compact, 10 to 15 centimeters, but the flower itself is strikingly large. A nuance you did not expect.
The pink giant naturalizes just as vigorously as the blue and white types. It sows itself, and ants carry the seeds further. The seeds carry a small appendage that ants take with them. It loves good drainage and prefers sun to half-shade. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Plant in large groups of 20 to 50: impact lives in numbers. Within a few years whole pink carpets form. It goes fastest if you let the flowers set seed.
The Surprise. Large where you expected small.
The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. Hand selected for quality and size, and delivered at the right planting time. A larger bulb holds more food, and you see that in the flower: more blooms, and fuller.
We offer our 100% Bloeigarantie. If nothing comes up, send us a message. You will get new bulbs, or your money back.
