Snowdrop Woronowii Bulbs | Galanthus woronowii

Snowdrop Woronowii Galanthus woronowii

This small snowdrop species has bright shiny green leaves and a delicate horseshoe mark at the base of the inner flower. One of the first spring flowers to appear in early January, these snowdrops are perfect for naturalising and will return year after year.

They prefer moist but well-drained soil and will grow beautifully in woodlands, lawns and under trees, as well as in rock gardens and the front of borders. While they thrive in dappled or partial shade, they are adaptable and also grow well in full sun. The crucial factor for success in a sunny spot is ensuring the soil contains plenty of organic matter to help retain moisture. They dislike dry conditions, particularly through their dormant summer months.

Let the foliage die back naturally after flowering as the leaves are still photosynthesising and sending nutrients into the bulbs for the next year's flowers.
