Snowdrop Flower Bulbs produce the familiar nodding white flowers of Galanthus nivalis, each marked with fresh green on the inner petals. Their delicate blooms are one of the most welcome sights of late winter and early spring.

Supplied as a pack of 50 bulbs, plants reach around 15cm and flower from January to March. They are ideal for naturalising beneath deciduous trees and shrubs, through lawns and in woodland-style planting. Plant promptly from September to November in moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil in partial shade.

Bulb size: 5/6
Bulb sizes are measured by circumference in centimetres. A 5/6 bulb measures approximately 5-6cm around. Larger bulbs generally contain more stored energy, helping to support strong growth and an impressive flowering display.

About our Bulbs
We work very closely with our growers to ensure we offer the very best, top sized bulbs which will provide you with a glorious autumn show. All of the bulbs we offer have been trialled and tested, either on our own trials ground, here in Suffolk, or on those of our growers, who we work with to ensure we offer the best range for British gardens.
