White Galanthus Woronowii Early Spring Flowering Perennials - UK Hardy Pollinator Friendly - Grow in Beds, Borders and Patio Pots
- Snowdrop Galanthus Woronowii is a fully hardy clump forming, late Winter, early Spring flowering perennial. These giant white headed snowdrops with green markings with their lovely honey scented flower heads, grow to a height of 15. These breath taking flowers chase the winter blues away appearing from as early as January heralding the start of Spring.
- These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds, garden borders or in patio pots. They are also ideal for growing in woodland gardens or rock gardens in particular around the base of deciduous trees or shrubs. They do particularly well when planted en masse. They create a carpet of colour wherever planted and come back better each year in UK gardens.
- If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.

Best Growing Conditions
Plant these snowdrop bulbs during Autumn to Winter in fertile, well draining soil in full sun to full shade approximately 5 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. After flowering, allow the foliage to die down completely. They are UK hardy and will continue to grow each year with little maintenance.
