Double Snowdrop 'Flore Pleno'
Ring in the new year with the delightful Double Snowdrop 'Flore Pleno', a cherished heirloom that brings intricate beauty to the late winter garden. Each nodding head unfurls to reveal a packed cluster of pure white, petal-like segments, creating a frilly, petticoat effect marked with delicate green at the centre. This RHS Award of Garden Merit winner is incredibly tough and reliable, quickly forming dense, spreading clumps. Perfect for naturalising in lawns, underplanting deciduous trees, or creating charming pot displays. For a classic winter scene, partner them with the cheerful yellow of Winter Aconites or early flowering Crocus.
