Description
Double snowdrop: instead of one bell you get a full flower. Inside are layers of petals. January through March, even through snow. Subtle and classic; a collector's item.
Officially Galanthus nivalis f. pleniflorus 'Flore Pleno'. Fuller than the single snowdrop, and thus stays visible longer. Half shade to full shade; any soil; fully hardy and reliable. The only caveat: this double form is sterile. It multiplies more slowly than the single type, through small offsets. So your naturalization cycle is longer. Still lovely to have; scented; bees are fine with it.
The Double. Full flower with layers, sets no seed so naturalizes slowly.
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.

About this snowdrop
What makes this snowdrop special.
First of the year
Still in deep winter the white bells are already standing, often before anything else dares.
