Galanthus

Snowdrops (Galanthus) are one of the most well-known spring bloomers and are often heralded as the messenger of the coming spring. Snowdrops are among the first bulbs to flower in spring and can form impressive white carpets in parks and forests. The bulbous plants are therefore well suited for naturalising and their milky white petals combine well with the emerging green of spring!

Popular cultivars are Galanthus nivalis 'the common snowdrop', Galanthus elwesii 'the large snowdrop' and Galanthus woronowii 'the green snowdrop'.

Planting and caring for Galanthus bulbs

Unpack the bulbs and tubers as soon as they arrive and plant them as soon as possible after delivery. Want to keep them for a while? Then keep the bulbs and tubers cool (12-17 degrees), dry and dark and ensure good ventilation. Do not store in the fridge or in plastic, the flower bulbs need to be able to breathe. Ensure healthy, well-drained soil. For planting instructions, we generally keep the planting distance 3x the width of the bulb and also 3x the height of the bulb. The bulbs and tubers can be planted in the soil manually. It may be useful to use a bulb planter.

Snowdrops bloom as one of the first spring bloomers, announcing the beginning of spring. Galanthus (snowdrop) is very popular as a bedding plant and is therefore often planted in parks, gardens and woods. Bulbs of galanthus (snowdrop) are planted in autumn and grow well in lawns, flower beds and borders. Snowdrops like a spot in semi-shade and a moist nutrient medium, for example in woodland locations. Do not plant the bulbs too deep, about 3x the size of the bulb deep. Snowdrops naturalise well. Naturalising bulbs are low-maintenance; once planted, they require no work and return annually.

 

History of the Galanthus

Galanthus is found in the wooded areas of eastern Europe and western Asia. Many species of snowdrops flower in the wild. The name Galanthus comes from the Greek gála (milk) and anthos (flower), or milky white flowers.
