Galanthus nivalis Flore Pleno is an exquisite variety of double flowering snowdrop. Turn the pretty white nodding blooms upside down to see an intricate, ruffled arrangement of green and white petals and markings. The flowers are lightly scented too.
Stems reach 15cm in height and flower during January and February. Can be grown next to other snowdrop varieties and crocus for a delightful spring display in open grass, borders and containers.
Prefers a sheltered position in light shade where the bulbs will establish undisturbed and multiply beautifully.
Holds an Award of Garden Merit for plant excellence.
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.
