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". Naturalises easily into carpets under trees; seeds itself. Half shade or full shade; any soil works; moisture-retaining helps. 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% Bloom Guarantee.
