Galanthus Elwesii
M5441
Description
The greater snowdrop, Galanthus Elwesii is a strong and robust variety which naturalises easily and can be relied on for years to come in the garden. Stems of single white flowers, up to 15cm tall, bloom in January and February and are a welcome sign of spring when little else is blooming outdoors.
Snow-white, snowdrop Galanthus Elwesii pointed petals hang downwards, beneath which emerald-green markings of the inner segments can just be seen. If spring arrives early with a spell of warm, sunny days, the flowers may be fleeting and will last longer during a period of extended cold weather.
A delicate, yet extremely hardy cultivar which has been granted an Award of Garden Merit by the RHS.
Care Guide
They prefer moist humus-rich soil.
Plant 8-10 cm deep, 8-10 cm apart. Plant in clumps 8 cm deep in shade or semi-shade.
Do not disturb until you want to split the clumps, which is best done when the foliage is still lush.

Collection 4
T2004
Velvety, almost-black mid season tulip ‘Paul Scherer’ is set off beautifully by his pretty fringed companion fringed tulip ‘Huis Ten Bosch’ in this artful collection. In fact, you could say this pair are a match made in heaven.
The soft pink and ivory colouring and feathered texture of tulip ‘Huis Ten Bosch’ is amplified by RHS award-winning ‘Paul Scherer’s’ dark and moody looks, and simplified, classic tulip shape.
Both bloom in April to May and are excellent flowers for cutting and adding dynamic colour and interesting shape to late spring bouquets and arrangements.
Each collection contains 10 of each variety, each individually bagged and labelled.
