Galanthus Elwesii Mount Everest
M5448
Description
Often first to flower during late winter, the clumps of delicate, pure white blooms set off by silvery-green foliage make Galanthus elwesii Mount Everest a must-have for the garden.
Standing 20cm tall, these snowdrops are a little larger than most varieties and will naturalise with ease in the border or amongst grass. Galanthus thrive in moist conditions and humus-rich, well-drained soil. A spot in dappled shade, beneath mature, deciduous trees and shrubs is perfect.
Snowdrops are also happy to be grown in pots. Top the earth with moss for a natural display and place the containers in a sheltered position.
Care Guide
They prefer moist humus-rich soil.
Plant 8-10cm (3-4”) deep, 8-10cm (3-4”) apart. Plant in clumps 8cm (3”) 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.
