Double Snowdrop Bulbs 

Latin:  Galanthus nivalis 'flore pleno'

Distribution:  This is the double form of our native Single Snowdrop and has been widely naturalised throughout Britain although not a native.
Habitat:  It thrives in damp woodland, hedgerows and can be grown in grass.
Description:  This Snowdrop has double white flowers with green inner petals. They flower from January to March (often slightly earlier than our native Single Snowdrop) and are 10-15cm in height.  They spread quickly and are suitable for naturalizing in woods and shady places.

Planting Instructions for 'In the Green' Bulbs:  The bulbs should be planted as soon as you receive them.  They are best planted where they can be left undisturbed.  If the earth is frozen solid, then you’ll need to wait until it is crumbly again.  If you do need to wait for a couple of days, sink the bulbs in some damp compost in a sheltered place until the soil is crumbly again.

Plant the bulbs as soon as possible upon receipt.
