Product Description
Snowdrops In The Green - the guaranteed way to succeed with these early spring flowering beauties!
The earliest and bravest of all flowering Spring bulbs, the delicate snowdrop with its tiny white petals and green-tinged centres bursts in bloom when the weather is at its very harshest. While all around it lies decidedly dormant, this cheery, fresh-faced little fellow brightens the gloomiest of looking gardens.
Difficult to grow from just the dry bulbs found in garden centres, the best way to ensure success is to plant Snowdrops while they are still in leaf otherwise known as in the green. The soil surrounding the bulbs contains a special fungus encouraging a strong and vigorous new root system. By planting in this way you can look forward to a stunning display in your garden from the very first season!
What Is Supplied
Item 630009 supplied as:
Supplied as a pack of 50 plants, "in the green", ready to plant. This is the most reliable way to get a colony going. Please note that the leaves may turn yellow towards the end of the season, and will also do so after planting as they die back underground and prepare for next year. Please plant with confidence whether the leaves are green or yellow.
Plant Information
Top Tips
- Where bulbs are planted in grass, do not cut the grass until after the leaves have died back, a few weeks after flowering.
- Divide every few years to split large clumps by lifting while the leaves are still green and break into smaller clumps for replanting.
Care Guide
- Plant in well-drained soil.
- Plant your snow drops at the same depth that they were planted before being lifted.
- Water thoroughly, especially in dry condition.
- Leave the leaves to die back naturally.

Only received part of the order as you ran out of stock. Then you tried to tell me I had entered the wrong code. After your staff reviewed the contents of your advertisement I was offered a 5 voucher. As my order was incomplete I received a full refund
Would not recommend your company to anyone.

As usual my order was dealt with very quickly and delivered to me within a few days. The plants came well packaged but slightly older looking than I had hoped.

The plants were slightly older looking than I had hoped. I have planted them and now have to wait till next winter to see if they grow well.

Both the varieties of the snowdrops I ordered in the green ...arrived in slimy bunches...I've planted them in a pot...however... I doubt that any will survive...I'm very disapointed with my order.

Slow dispatch,so very limp on arrival. I know this isn?t so important as they had already flowered but some were so dry that the leaves had completely dried out and dropped off.

Quite dried out on arrival so some were just bulbs as the leaves had dropped off

Original order had not arrived after 3 weeks. I was given a Royal Mail tracking number which was dead. On checking GBs faq page it states that the tracking numbers do not work so that was a great help. To be fair a new order was dispatched promptly and without fuss. Unfortunately when it arrived it was not exactly what was ordered - some plant substitutions made which was not ideal. Rating would fall somewhere between good and poor but this is not an option. Not poor enough to prevent me ordering in the future.

Plants seem fine but won't really know until next year comes around.

The plants looked anaemic as though they had been kept in the dark for a long time. The roots on most of the bulbs were dry or missing. In a year's time I'll be able to tell you if they were any good or not.
