About Giant Snowdrop Bulbs

Galanthus elwesii

Featured New
Seed Type Bulb
Plant Type Giant

Giant Snowdrop brings a cheerful, early-season spark just as winter loosens its grip, with two-inch broad ivory flowers tipped in green and handsome gray-green foliage. Giant Snowdrop is prized as one of the earliest and largest snowdrops, opening wide in sunshine while staying neatly closed on cloudy days. A time-tested heirloom (introduced in the late 1800s), it thrives in rich, woodsy soil and naturalizes readily into long-lived colonies that deer tends to avoid.
