There may have been snow on the ground this week but some of our plants are already waking up. One of the first bulbs to put on a show are our Galanthus elwesii, more commonly known as the Giant Snowdrop. It always amazes us that no matter how cold or dreary the weather is they pop up through the ground to put on a wonderful display.
G. elwesii produces some of the largest Snowdrop flowers at up to 2.5cm long, with a beautiful honey fragrance. They can be essential for any early pollinating insects. Great for naturalising around trees, on banks or in grass.
