AGM A good doer with broad grey-green leaves and generous bright white flowers with a single green mark on the inner "petals". Average soil in sun or light shade. 20cm.

One of the best snowdrops for increasing here, going from a single pot to a nice drift over 1m across in a few years. Galanthus elwesii seems to do well with our rich fertile soil that is quite damp in winter but dries out in summer.

Ideal to grow under deciduous trees or shrubs.
