Product Description
Galanthus 'Straffan' is well regarded as the champion of the Irish Snowdrop. Holder of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, it is a robust cultivar discovered in the late 1850s at Straffan House, County Kildare. It is particularly prized for its reliability and its unique habit of producing a second flower stem from each bulb, which significantly extends its blooming season. Ideally suited for a partially shaded location. Height 12-15cm. 6cm+ 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.
