giant snowdrop

This species comes mainly from north- eastern Turkey and eastern Georgia and southern Russia and is often found on chalk, but has a wide range of soils and conditions under which it grows. In the garden it is easy to grow and its leaves are a fresh green, making a change from the glaucous leaves of many other species. See snowdrop cultivation for further information.

No pruning required.

Propagate by seed, sown in containers in an open frame when ripe or division when foliage dies back. Seed may not come true

Can get narcissus bulb fly and slugs
