You can identify this snowdrop even before it flowers! Its unique folded leaves (supervolute vernation) are a dead giveaway.

Welcome the new year with the cheerful elegance of Galanthus woronowii, the Giant Snowdrop! This variety is a true garden treasure, celebrated for its broad, glossy, bright green leaves that create a lush carpet long before other plants stir. From this foliage emerge delicate, nodding white flowers, each marked with a distinctive green horseshoe on its inner petals. A proud recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it's a reliable and beautiful choice. Plant them in drifts under trees, along pathways, or in pots with winter aconites and crocuses for a breathtaking early spring display. They naturalise beautifully, promising a bigger and better show each year.

Where to Plant:

Galanthus woronowii thrives in a spot that mimics a woodland floor – dappled shade under deciduous trees or shrubs is perfect. They are ideal for naturalising in lawns, rock gardens, or at the front of a shaded border. Ensure the soil is humus-rich and moist but well-drained, especially in winter.

How to Plant:

Plant bulbs in the autumn, about 10cm deep and 8-10cm apart. For a natural look, gently scatter the bulbs and plant them where they land. Water well after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs.

Aftercare:

Leave the foliage to die back naturally after flowering; this is crucial for the bulb to store energy for next year's display. The leaves provide vital nutrients, so don't be tempted to tidy them up too early. They will happily self-seed and spread to form larger clumps over time.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
