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 even 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 in February and March.
What Is Supplied
Item 630014 supplied as:
Supplied as a pack of 75 plants (50 single-flowered and 25 double-flowered), "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.

Would order again if they were needed.

Better communications! Payment status was questioned on placement of order and I was unaware that there was a problem. Website did not alert me to expiry of membership status so I did not benefit from this discount. Customer services said that the membership status would be restored on payment of order, but this has not happened. Order has been paid and there is no indication of delivery of the order nor of membership.
Please advise

The bulbs I received I was pleased with however whoever counted the single bulbs stopped at just over 50 instead of 75 as advertised. Your packaging is always good and always prompt on delivery.

Lovely plants and well packaged, planted immediately on arrival and very healthy in the tub with every sign of flourishing. Extremely pleased, so wish I had ordered more as was unable to buy any pots of growing snowdrops this year. Tease in numbers.he dry bulbs I have planted before survive, but take so long to increase
