Product Description

At the end of a long gloomy winter there is nothing to match the breath-taking sight of a sweeping carpet of snowdrops, a marvellous herald of spring. Elwesii is a spectacular giant snowdrop originating from eastern Asia. Snowdrop Elwesii produces honey scented nodding flowers which are formed from an outer whorl of snowy white tepals encasing smaller inner tepals, flared and marked green at the tips. Fine 20cm stems sport dainty strap shaped leaves. It holds the prestigious Award of Garden Merit. Flowering January-March. 5cm+ bulbs supplied.

Growing at a glance…

Galanthus bulbs prefer humus-rich soil that's well-drained and kept moist, especially in the summer. These blooms do not need pruning. Simply allow them to die back after their growth in early spring, allowing the bulbs to absorb as much energy from the sun as possible. Cut them down to ground level once the foliage is brown and straw-like. Plant bulbs 10cm deep, spaced 5cm apart. Perfect for growing in shaded areas, especially under trees and shrubs.
