Snowdrop Woronowii Bulbs In The Green | 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, well-drained soil and will grow happily in woodlands, lawns and under trees, as well as in rock gardens and the front of borders. Although they naturally thrive in dappled or partial shade, they are adaptable and will also perform well in full sun. In sunnier positions, the key to success is enriching the soil with plenty of organic matter to help retain moisture, as they do not tolerate dry conditions - especially during their dormant summer months.

Spring wildflower bulbs 'in the green' are supplied when they are actively growing. This can be a more reliable way to transplant species such as bluebells, aconites and snowdrops, and for all wildflower bulb species the plants can be more quickly and easily established than from dormant bulbs planted in autumn. Wildflower bulbs in the green can be easier to plant as it is clear where the bulbs have been planted.  In most cases, the plants will flower the following spring.

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.

Our highest-quality wildflower and meadow bulbs are grown in the UK from British plants.
