Galanthus Nivalis
M5442
Description
Known as the common, single snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis puts on a reliable and unmissable display in the garden year after year.
Flowering when little else dares to break soil in January, this pretty and dainty snowdrop stands just 15cm tall. Simply enchanting growing in swathes and groups through grass and beneath trees.
This wild species snowdrop holds a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for garden excellence, beauty and health and is a steadfast, top choice for gardeners.
The bulbs are quick to establish in sun or shade and will naturalise with ease in any moist, well-drained soil.
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.
