When much of the garden is still sleeping, snowdrops are among the first flowers to signal that a new growing season is approaching.
Our Woodland Snowdrop Collection brings together two distinctive Galanthus species, selected to create a graceful early-season display of nodding white flowers among contrasting green foliage.
With 30 bulbs in total, this collection is particularly suited to naturalistic planting beneath trees, through shrub borders and in woodland-inspired areas of the garden.
15 bulbs – 4/5cm
Elwesii produces elegant white flowers above distinctive broad, grey-green foliage.
Its comparatively substantial blooms make it a beautiful snowdrop for creating visible groups through winter and early spring planting.
15 bulbs – 7+cm
Woronowii brings a slightly different character to the collection with its particularly fresh, glossy green foliage and delicate nodding white flowers.
Planted alongside Elwesii, the differences in foliage help create a more interesting and natural-looking display.

= 30 Snowdrop Bulbs
Two species, each with its own subtle character.
Snowdrops are at their most beautiful when they don't look overly arranged.
Plant the bulbs in loose, irregular groups rather than straight lines, allowing small clusters to emerge naturally beneath trees and shrubs.
Try scattering several handfuls gently across the planting area and placing bulbs approximately where they fall.
The result can look far more natural than evenly spaced rows.
Snowdrops are particularly useful beneath deciduous trees and shrubs.
During their active growing period, winter and early spring light can reach the plants before the tree canopy becomes dense later in the season.
A fertile, moisture-retentive but free-draining soil is ideal.
Plant during autumn approximately 5–8cm deep in fertile, humus-rich soil with good drainage.
Choose somewhere that does not become excessively dry and leave the foliage untouched after flowering until it has faded naturally.
