The snowdrop is always a firm winter favourite. Its time of emergence is always a talking point and a chance to compare geographical and yearly differences. All have hanging white flowers, with green tips and streaks on the petals, so that there are hundreds of varieties, that experts get very excited about. Foliage is anything from bright green to a refined grey-green, and can be broad or narrow.
Galanthus xallenii is probably a natural hybrid, distinct but quite slow to multiply. It has wide grey-green leaves and single flowers with a simple green V mark. It is strongly scented.
