Description

Summer snowflake, despite its name already in April, May. Larger than snowdrop; white with green dot on each petal; multiple per stem. This is the substantial variant on a classic theme.

Gravetye Giant: long stems that show best in groups. Full sun to half shade; tolerates both moist and well-draining soil, flexible. Frost-hardy; slowly naturalizes; low maintenance. Bees and butterflies welcome. Combines nicely under deciduous trees in large groups.

The Full. Multiple bells per stem where snowdrop has one.

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.

Anders dan bij het sneeuwklokje hangen hier drie tot zeven klokjes aan één steel.

Zomerklokje in het voorjaar

Hij heet zomerklokje, maar bloeit al in april en mei.
