Hooded blooms flecked with green shout that spring is hereDelectable and dainty, nodding heads with dazzling jewel-green accents add an element of cheer to the garden even in the harshest of weather. Snowdrops are one of the first winter flowering bulbs to appear and are a symbolic representation that Spring is on its way.Galanthus nivalis 'Viridapice' is taller than many snowdrops and has a distinctive, long spathe which resembles a hood. A favourite amongst those seeking a slightly more unusual snowdrop, or collectors (galanthophiles) as it is still quite rare. Whilst inner and outer petals are the traditional white, each also has green markings as if painted by a brush.Plant these hardy (H5) bulbous perennials in a site with a moist, free-draining soil which enjoys part sun/part shade. Ideal for underplanting shrubs and trees as well as growing in pots.
