Product information
If you are looking for a snowdrop that has that extra impact, then Galanthus elwesii is worth looking out for. It is a giant-flowered snowdrop with honey-scented blooms, which have two delicate green marks on the petals.
Snowdrops prefer a moisture-retentive, humus-rich, woodland type soil. The site should be well-drained, cool and shady, but it shouldn’t dry out in summer. Most soils benefit from the incorporation before planting of a good quantity of well decomposed leaf mould or leaf-litter.
Plant bulbs approx. 6cm deep in small clumps of 6 - 12. When the clumps become dense, lift and separate after flowering whilst still in leaf.
Grows to approximately 15-20cm.
Flowers between January and March.
Sorry - Elwesii out of stock for Spring 2024.
