Snowdrops 'Galanthus Woronowii'
Snowdrops ‘Galanthus Woronowii’, also known as Ikariae Snowdrops, are tall, elegant blooms that bring welcome colour to the garden in late winter and early spring. With broad green leaves and dainty nodding white flowers, they are among the first signs of spring, often pushing through frosty ground in February and March. An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, this variety is also bee-friendly, offering valuable nectar for early pollinators.
Hardy and easy to grow, Snowdrops thrive in moisture-retentive soil and prefer partial shade, though they will tolerate full sun. They naturalise beautifully, returning year after year to form carpets of white in lawns, rockeries, woodland gardens, and containers.
