A somewhat muddled byzantinus mark which may indicate a hybrid origin. Exceptionally vigorous variety which makes a good garden plant,.

A superb byzantinus which is early and has huge flowers. The basal mark is enormously variable and can be anything from absent to a solid band. Often two flowers per bulb. Stands out amongst the crowd. From Richard, and named by me for him.

This snowdrop is more yellow and taller than G. ‘Wendys Gold’ but less vigorous, and consequently less often available. The leaves are distinctly yellowish. This snowdrop is named for the warden at Wandlebury Ring, where it was found. Please note the correct spelling.

Large yellow-marked flowers with yellow ovaries. The leaves are much greener than in other yellow varieties making it far more vigorous. Clumps up well. 20-25cm. An extremely vigorous selection of G. plicatus originally from a wood in Scotland..

The leaves are typical of Galanthus plicatus but the flower was unique for having the outer petals shaped exactly like the inner petals and with green tips. It is very slow to increase. This was found in a garden in the Bristol suburb of Westbury on Trym

This variety is unique in that the inner is two thirds yellow. It is an incredibly vigorous plant.This snowdrop is the first yellow to grow well in any soil, unlike yellow nivalis which is a weak plant. This snowdrop was found at the site of the Iron Age hill fort of Wandlebury Ring in Cambridgeshire it was named after the warden’s wife, Wendy.

An extremely pretty plant with very nicely shaped flowers. This is a free-flowering form with very narrow green leaves with a strongly grey central stripe. Exceptionally vigorous. It grows to about 10cm and emerges in early January. This graceful clone was collected by Dr John Marr in the 1970s in the former Yugoslavia.

Can have 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5 flowers all in the same clump. Often two flowers per bulb. Greenish leaves.

The flowers are small, yellow and produced in dense heads surrounded by very attractive variegated bracts. The leaves are beautifully margined in pure white and last in good condition for a surprisingly long time. Makes solid clumps. 15 to 20cm. March / April. Good in sticky clay in part shade. Poor in drier sandy soils. When it was still a rare thing, we were fortunate to be given a large clump by a friend in Sweden.

Many dense spikes of tiny white flowers, each with a rich orange centre. Unscented during the day but as the evening draws on they produced the richest, most powerful perfume of anything we grow. Many small, narrow, toothed leaves set up the wiry stems. Bushy to 60cm. From April to frosts, but 12 months if grown in a conservatory. About half died in minus 10C but in a sheltered spot they came through fine. Drier conditions in full sun. South African.

One of the largest species with long spikes of pink "bottlebrush" flowers. Large, grey-green marbled leaves and curious woody trunks. To 120cm. Well-drained soil in sun or part shade. May not be fully hardy. Very few.

Relatively large flowers in shades of pale blue in May and June. Fans of pale green leaves. Easy and can seed around but the rhizomes must be above ground. Grows to 40cm. Very dry sun or shade.

Clusters of pure white flowers at least 1cm wider than any other white form carried on long climbing stems. Sterile. Paired leaflets. To 2m. Any soil in sun or part shade. Summer. Good grown through shrubs.

Differs from the typical plant in the much richer darker red flowers produced in heads in the upper leaf axils. L. rotundifolius is usually brick red and has larger flowers with fewer flowers per head. Pale green bifoliate leaves. Climber to 2m and I find it easier and more vigorous than typical L rotundifolius. Dies down completely by August. Well-drained soil in sun. June / July. Early summer.

A selection I made where the tips are between a quarter and a third of the petal. When partly open it has a curious shape a bit like a Chinese lantern. Mid-season and very vigorous. Fresher green leaves than most of the others.

Larger, much earlier, broader leaved, more vigorous, mostly but not always two flowers per stem. From former Hungary now Western Ukraine. Stays true in cultivation and doesn’t, so far, seem to cross with Lvv. Seeds well with me.

A selection I made some years ago which reliably flowers first and usually in early January, hence Janus. Janus: a two-faced Roman god who looks back to the old year and forward to the new one. Otherwise it’s a typical vagneri.
