Description

The snowdrop: white, modest, even through snow in January or February. This is where it starts for many gardeners. Simple, reliable, the same meeting year after year.

The species name nivalis literally means "of the snow". Naturalizes easily into carpets under trees; seeds itself. Half shade or full shade; any soil works; moisture-retaining helps. Scented; bees are happy. Toxic if eaten; used in small doses in medicine for dementia. Perfect for pots too; mini-bouquet cutting. Low maintenance, plant and forget.

The Classic. The snowdrop in pure white and green, the beauty of simplicity.

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.

Galanthus Nivalis

Het groene vinkje

Elk van de drie korte binnenste blaadjes draagt een klein groen hartvormig vlekje.

Ruikt naar honing

Op een zachte dag geurt het sneeuwklokje licht en zoet, een beetje naar honing.

Dwars door de vorst

Bloeit al in januari en maart, vaak dwars door de sneeuw heen.

Where this flower shines.

Good for bees and butterflies

Full of nectar and pollen, so bees and butterflies find your garden effortlessly.

Comes back every year

Once planted it spreads on its own and comes back stronger year after year.

Does well in shade

Brings colour to shady spots where many other flowers give up.

Deer resistant

Deer and roe deer usually leave these flowers alone, so your work stays standing.

Rodent resistant bulb

Not popular with mice and voles, so the bulbs stay safe in the ground.
