Plant World Seeds - Galanthus Nivalis Seeds

Description

This famous plant bears solitary, nodding, fragrant white flowers, the inner segments attractively marked with green at the tip, above compact clumps of narrow grey-green leaves. For many gardeners snowdrops herald the end of winter. They are extraordinarily hardy and grow in most soils, but make best plants in heavier moist soils. They are best transplanted while growing (in the green), dry bulbs often taking a season to settle down before flowering. Sadly, few good seeds are produced.(RHS AGM)SOWING ADVICE: Sow seeds at any time covering them with compost or grit 5mm deep, keeping the seed pot in a cool, well-lit spot outdoors. Artificial heat is not needed and can prevent germination so be very patient as many species will only germinate in the spring after chilling or freezing in the moist seed tray in the winter. Grow on individual seedlings in small pots until of sufficient size to be potted on or planted out into the open ground.Genuine Plant World Seeds branded packets supplied direct from Plant World Seeds UK
