Galanthus 'Straffon' (Pack of 5) Snowdrops Straffon Straffon Snowdrops

Galanthus 'Straffon' is one of the oldest snowdrops. A late flowering snowdrop that produces 2 stems per bulb and therefore flowers a lot longer than others throughout the season.

Straffon snowdrops are so easy to grow and do well in sweeping drifts under deciduous trees or planted along walks or paths so their beauty and fragance can be admired. 

We have a fabulous crop of large 6cm+ bulbs this year!! 

How to plant Galanthus Elwesii

  • Find a location with well-drained, moist soil
  • Snowdrops grow well in full Sun or partially-shaded areas. 
  • If planting in the garden, plant the bulbs 6-8cm below the soil surface.
  • If planting in Pots, find a container and fill it with good-quality, well-drained soil. Ensure there is adequate draining holes.
  • Plant in the Autumn, September through November.
  • After planting, water well, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
  • Snowdrops will flower February through to March.

Care Instructions

How to care for Galanthus Elwesii

 

  • After flowering has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
  • Water as needed during active growth periods.
  • Allow the flower to die back completely before clearing away any foliage.
