Description
Galanthus nivalis, commonly known as Snowdrops, are classic early-flowering spring bulbs, loved for their delicate white, nodding flowers that appear in late winter to early spring. Often flowering through frost and snow, they provide one of the first signs of life in the garden after winter.
These hardy perennial bulbs naturalise easily, forming beautiful drifts over time in borders, woodland gardens, lawns, and shaded areas beneath trees and shrubs. Snowdrops are low maintenance, long-lived, and thrive in moist but well-drained soil, making them ideal for both traditional and naturalistic planting schemes.
Supplied in a 1-litre pot, these established plants are ready to plant and provide reliable early-season colour.
